Are You Happy With Changing The Clocks Twice A Year?

[satprof]

Jean-Claude Juncker seemed to want to leave a legacy of removing the (bi-) annual changing of European clocks. He organized an online referendum on this topic with little publicity and hence a tiny participation. Subsequently he claimed that no-one wanted this change and got the European Parliament to pass some half-baked legislation to ban the practice.

Now that he's gone, this seems to have been ignored. What do ABers think about this?

Personally, I would hate having darker mornings in the Winter at the cost of lighter evenings but others may choose to differ.

It's a dated process which could well be abandoned, just like *railway time eventually was.



*In the early days the railways ran on strict "sun" time so the time in London differed from that in Bristol (by about 10 minutes)

I dont have the money to spend on new clocks twice a year

Apart from Queen Nicola, are there any coos left in Scotland - and she's milking the opulation up there.

Absolutely NO comparison - nothing/nil/nada!

I'm not. It goes against nature.

//If we stuck to GMT throughout the year, these would be the sunrise and sunset times on 21.12.22,

Ventnor, Isle of Wight
Sunrise 09:03

etc.//

Don’t you mean if we stuck to BST, Corby? The country is on GMT in December.
