Zapp Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Nope. I get up just before 5 most days when I have to travel for work and whilst my brain knows it's time to go my body won't agree for a month at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teal Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 To be honest I'm looking forward to 2021 when the clock change is scrapped! But yes to the longer days and better weather - it really has been a very kind spring (and winter) in the SW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Boggy Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 British Summer Time or Daylight Saving Time first advocated by William Willett from Petts Wood in the early 1900s just proves that something useful did originate from Kent after all OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few times that Parliament did listen to the general public I remember it and it was flipping miserable. There was no real advantage because it still got dark by 5pm so most people were still coming home from work and there was no opportunity to do anything in the evening. In the morning it didn't get light until gone 9am so school kids were going to school in the dark and so many trades depending on the daylight couldn't get started until gone 9am. If they do change it again then I'm sure it will quickly get repealled again because it was far worse than what we have now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
