Do you want clock changes or not?

movilogo

There is a news that EU (and possibly UK too) considering scrapping of clock changes.

What do you want?

I prefer summer time / BST all year. Dark winter evenings are depressing (especially while coming back from work). Don't mind going to work in dark

I suspect the further north you live the more you would like things to stay as they are.



......and the further south you live the less you care about what northern folk would like

Scotland can go for their own times zone as no big deal.

Yes, i live in the south/London and yes, I don't care about those up norht when it comes to having longer daylight hours where we live.

RoSPA campaigns for Single/Double Summer Time, which would see daylight savings retained but the adoption of GMT+2 in the summer and GMT+1 in the winter, giving us more usable daylight year-round – especially in the evenings.

The US state of Indiana is split into two different timezones - Scotland and England could easily do the same.

As a compromise post Brexit we would of course move the Clocks forward on the first Sunday in March rather than the last Sunday - as they do in the US. It is barmy that for the much of March it is getting light at around 6am – before most people are awake - but is dark during evening rush hour at 6pm. Changing that would literally save lives and save energy as well.

More generally who could object to 'summer time' all year round!!

I think that fouble summer time was used during the war.
I'm "oop north" (OK, north of Watford Gap!) and am happy with the current system.

Can't say it is top of my worry list.

I'm sure cases of insomnia or SAD must go up when the clocks go back.


I'd love to stay on BST all year around.

Rospa have done lots of research e.g. road accidents over many years.
I don’t think they are biased towards either north or south.

Just remember this is all a pointless delusion. Fiddling with the clock does NOT produce more sunlight.

Just stick with permanent GMT and let organisations and individuals run their own affairs as best suits them.

Indeed. I was not aware re split times in one state of the USA.

At work one of my co workers gets angry most of us agree to BST all year round and no ameniable to the idea that Scotland could have their own time just like their gov and money.
