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.
Hey, just had a really radical idea.....
Why don't you think up something new to post...?
And if you can't......don't......please.......
Several countries on similar longitudes to us are on GMT+1 in the Winter and GMT+2 in the Summer (i.e. Central European Time), which we should be on!

Why don't you move to them then if it bothers you that much?

At last!
A proper reason to leave the EU!
:rofl:
Btw! Have you got things arse about face again? I'm pretty sure there are no countries on the same longitude as us that are on CET. Did you mean latitude - which is the main factor governing whether DST is worthwhile/safe or not - certainly Scottish farmers are not keen on milking in the dark!

If several countries are and several countries aren't, who is right? BTW, the consensus on here chose as we are, which clearly suggests you're wrong. Double rolly eyes back at you.

Or more importantly do we care?
Spain, France, Italy and Germany are on CET, but Portugal is on GMT. I was out in Spain a couple of weeks ago and it was light by 7am and dark by 7.30pm. Admittedly their daylight hours are a bit longer than ours at this time of year due to their more Southern latitude, but this seemed to make the best use of the available daylight.
Sorry, sorry you're breaking up. Ring me in Oct and we can do this again
You should do if you want to fit the odd game of golf into the evening after work, or any other outdoor activities. For much or the year our time zone wastes hours of daylight in the morning. I think there was a justification for this many years ago, when farmers had to milk their cows in time to get the milk to market, but now we have refrigerated milk tankers this is no longer necessary! :mmm:

I think the wave of apathy on here and when it was polled before show it's just you again. Why keep banging on and on. The majority seem perfectly happy and it ain't going to change any time soon (well technically tonight) so what's the point of going on and on about it?

Kane. Great finish and a turn Cruyff would have enjoyed

Nearly right Delc, the milk is cooled and refrigerated on the farm then collected by insulated tankers :thup:
Loved the quote from "This Farming life" earlier this week on clocks changing from the Scottish farmer "Och we dinna bother to change our watches " as they get up when it's light then come in when it's dark .

Must be worth a referendum at least.
Total and absolute rubbish!
Tomoorow morning, after the the clock goes forward, it'll be light at 6:49. That means about 5:50 this morning. Both times are more than acceptable, even if you go back a month.
And tomorrow it's 7:40pm sunset.
add in your nautical sunrises and sunsets that you brought up the last time we went through this rubbish.... There's no easy way to say it...well there is. You really do need some serious counselling to help you get over the OCD you have with this and bigger holes.

Spain is the only one that is really on same longitude! And that's so far South that DST (or not) doesn't have the massive difference that it does further North. France could be on either GMT or CET as it's about 7* (half an hour) different from UK. But its most Northerly point is below London, so the effect of DST is nowhere as severe as in GB! And Germany is only little further North. DST is of little consequence for Italy and Portugal - it's latitude (difference) that means there are significant distortions like in The North and Scotland!
A suggestion....Why don't you get your buddies to get to the club 1 hour earlier all year round - simulating your wish! And you my just find that there is less traffic on the roads at that time too - so another win!

Dont see why us and Scotland cant be on different time zones, TBF. Pick your own, I say.
After all, 6 months ago we could have been separated, and bigger differences.
Leave the Irish and Welsh to pick their own, as well.
I also think a 4 day week would make a massive boost to the economy, also - I know I spend more money when I'm off.

Our club never opens until at least 07.15, whatever the time of year. I assume this is due to staff contracts etc!Spain is the only one that is really on same longitude!
