They tried changing it from 1968 to 1971. Everyone complained (not just Scots) and we went back to GMT.

Nope, just farmers and Northerners (mostly Scots) complained. If they had a referendum on it it would have passed by a huge margin all the opinion polls said.

This parent is content with the current situation and I suspect I would not be the only one :D

Bloody Northerner - buy a torch!!

[Daniel Quinn]

much prefer

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

Yes in the evening or late afternoon. Why do we have to be dark at 4pm, 5pm is bad enough. So which is worse walking home in the dark or going in the dark, it is fallacious argument that morning is worse.

You forget children leave school at 3.30 and it is still light . bst ensures they go and come home in daylight .

Agree with the Doc 100%. I hate the onset of darkness too early (and I'm about as far North as you can get, unless you cross the Border). Mind you, I have never got up before 9am at the earliest. My earliest starting job in my life has been 10am and I've struggled with that. Early daylight is no good to me :D

Just saw DQ's post. It's dark here by 3.30 in December and January. God knows about Scotland. I honestly think we are pushing the limits of where its healthy for humans to live. Goodness knows how Scandinavians cope. To me, daylight is like air, food and water. Essential for a decent life. I love the North as well as Scotland, but Winter is like my vision of hell.

For a man that spends a load of time in Greece and doesn't work currently , this is a little OTT Go for a walk now Andrew before it gets dark
