Clocks go back to GMT tonight!

[HomerJSimpson]

to be honest I don't have a preference. I think on balance I'd prefer lighter mornings if only for the school kids going to school and the commute into work. Just my own point of view

I'm still waking up at 06.30 when it's perfectly light, but nothing is open and there is nothing to do for another hour-and-half. By contrast it was almost dark at 17.00 today! GMT does not make the best use of daylight, even in Winter!

all depends on where you are in the country, I'd say we had Daylight here from 07:25-16:35 today. Dark at 6:30am when I left the house and dark by the time I got home around 5:15pm Both journeys required headlights on. Roll on March

Was getting light here on my way home this morning at around 7:10 ish and then dark around 5:20ish

Light enough to hit balls and warm up on Sunday at 7.10

Sunrise in London today (29th October) was at 06.48 and sunset at 16.39. You expect to get about 30 minutes twilight either side of those times.

In Glasgow today, sunrise 07.17 sunset 16.44.

I almost got emotional then LP.

I believe the children are our future. Teach them well. And let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside. Give them a sense of pride.


I've always thought that this forum doesn't have enough Whitney Houston.

What is the point in having Scotland on a different time zone ?!
We managed with the rest of Europe because they are good thousand miles further away in places ?!

There is nothing wrong with the way it works now. Plan your life better and there is nothing to worry about

The last time I looked, The South of England was a lot closer to France than Scotland.
Seemingly it is the Scots who have the biggest issues with moving the clocks an hour forward, which is understandable given their geographic location. If it suits them, let them do what they want. As has been said, that's devolution.
Never mind Phil. You could always move to Scotland where you and our future you and Whitney love so much could have all the morning daylight you want

I have read somewhere that there is a move afoot to synchronise the UK with Central European Time in the not too distant future, so that would solve all our daylight saving issues. We would effectively be on BST in the winter and double summer time in summer.

Which would be great.
We will probably make the change just as we leave the European Union

Three questions if I may Delc......

1. If you are retired, why do you care what the time is?
2. Apart from the size of the hole, most of the rules of golf and clock changing, what else do you want to 'put right' in the world?
And finally the most important question on this whole thread..........
3. If you are retired why do you still set an alarm clock?

If you want to do something in the morning before the shops open, maybe you could do some volunteer work and help those less fortunate than yourself to get ready for the day.

I hope I'm more content and relaxed with life when I reach my fast approaching retirement.

It was meant to be a light hearted post.

If any mods feel my post was' poking a stick', please remove it.
Thanks.

Maybe if you don't like it as is you should move to France.

I still have to meet up with other people's daily schedules, and I do a couple of voluntary type jobs. The shorter evenings do really mess about with outdoors activities (e.g. playing golf in the afternoon).

So basically you are only worried about your afternoon golf

Start an hour earlier then - problem solved

It affects my other hobby of gliding (I am a volunteer gliding instructor, winch driver and tug pilot) much more than golf, because we are limited to what time we start by noise agreements with the airfield's neighbours and we have to stop shortly after sunset for legal reasons.

I'll see your Whitney and raise it a CSN.
