And they said in winter clocks would go forward again an hour??

Well the kids and the dog already aren't impressed this morning... love to see how that would work!:laughing:
OK BUT please let them do it on a friday after lunch...so that is is getting 5 o'clock quicker...rather than taking it off our short short weekends!!! :laughing:
Just read this up on a google search, all makes perfect sense, except kids still have to get up for school in the morning, so going to bed later to enjoy the longer evenings is not an option!
It says about pensioners being afraid of being out in the dark, well the majority dont work so arent constricted by a normal day, so go out earlier and would still be tired and want to go home scared of the drunks and others that are loitering around to cause trouble later at night still!
And a lot of people now do not work a conventional day anyway, we all get up at differing times, but they reckon it will save energy bills as we would have the light on less.
I am tired losing an hour out of the precious weekend, let alone the effects of losing two!
Oh I hope they just leave it as it is:panic: :rolleyes:
Yes I read this a few weeks ago
Even talk about doing a 3 year trial - imagine that we could get used to it then they say it dont work so we could be back to square one again :laughing:
Imagine it getting dark at 11pm the kids would never go to sleep ha ha

but in summer it is already light till 11 anyways? and light again from 3am??
I think I am missing the point....
So this would take us in line with the rest of Europe? Having just got back from 3 years in Gib, I don't mind!!
The clocks changing this time has done me a favour the children actually slept in until 8am this morning :clapping: I don't mind as long as they keep one continuous time and stop all this silly changing around
Did it not already have a trial in the 60s or 70s though and it obviously didn't work too well or we'd still be doing it?
well... I wasn't born til '73......
Would that make us the same as Europe then? :rolleyes:
