Do you want clock changes or not?

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 ;)

Ah another London centric idea, most of the UK however is somewhat further north.

Well, it depends what you mean by "most", doesn't it? Only three regions of the UK produce a tax surplus.

The rest are net takers. So in an economic sense, "most" of the UK is indeed London and the south-east. There's a little bit in the east, but otherwise the UK is, broadly, a tax sink funded by the south.
