And the petition is for? No information on the link. 

[Fitzer]

Interesting, the confirmation email says what it's about

[renegadefm]

Fitzer, 

Sorry its a message I want to send to the government, to stop altering the clocks in Autumn, and just leave them set to BST

[DDIL]

What is it about?

[DDIL]

lol no I won't be signing that!

[Prudie]

No I won't, this has been done to death. Leave it as it is, most people like it. 

[wolf63]

I believe that the further north you go the more obvious it becomes that the idea is sound.

People living in the south of England should count themselves lucky.

Leave things as they are.

 

[ToraToraTora]

It ain't broke don't fix it.

[renegadefm]

Any help would be appreciated, just to get the petition off and running. It needs at least 5 signatures before they even publish it. 

[barry1010]

No. I'm very against the idea

[renegadefm]

barry1010, 

Could you please explain why your against it?

 

[Barmaid]

Instead of asking folk to justify why they shouldn't sign, how about you justify why they should.

[Maydup]

No I won't be signing it, but you might get a bit more support if you say what the petition is for and why you feel so strongly.

[renegadefm]

Barmaid, 

The full explanation is on the petition. 

 

To cut the story short, I simply hate it being dark at tea time. 

Theres lots of reasons I have really. 

My partner hates driving in the dark, she says the other car lights dazzle her, so she won't drive after 4.30 in the afternoon. 

 

Personally it seems to affect my mental health with it being dark so early. 

Crime rises in the dark evenings. Theres all sorts of reasons I would keep the clocks set to BST

[Toorak]

I recall having to walk to school in the dark with fluorescent armbands when there was an experiment with BST in the sixties. It just meant that people were having to drive and walk in the dark in the morning rather than the afternoon. The length of daylight won't change.
