Clocks go forward one hour tonight!

[delc]

Just a reminder to wind all your clocks forward to BST tonight. In my opinion they should never have been wound back to GMT (Greenwich Misery Time) in the first place! Just condemns us to 5 months of miserable dark evenings during the Winter for no particularly good reason.

Genuinely confused when people blame the clocks going backwards for winter and the lack of daylight, we get the same amount of daylight regardless what time a clock says it is, if doing it saves one life or helps one person then fine by me.

Same old, same old. Look at it another way, plenty of time to play and practice after work again now

Yes, but GMT does not make the best use of the available hours of daylight for most people, certainly in Southern England. According to the statistics, dark evening cause more road accidents than dark mornings.

Correct. Can't put a price on that

But it's not put in place for just Southern England is it! USA and most of Europe adjust clocks as well, so why do they continue? if it's not right?

Please no Paul - we have been through all this before twice a year. Delc is only concerned about being able to play golf for longer in the winter.

Indeed. That's how I see it. Can get at least an hour and a half in after work from tomorrow so a very quick nine or some decent sgort game work. Just need the sun to come back
