Not putting the clocks back. Is this a good idea ? – Page 3 – Chat Forum

I hate winter. There I've said it. Cold wind, cold rain, layers of clothes, ages to clean the mud off the bike, but most of all, the perpetual darkness. The mud and the cold I can deal with, but the one thing that does my head in is going to work on a dark morning, sitting in an office all day, and then going home in the dark in the evening. I need light dammit !! If we change from GMT and stay in summer time, would this be a good thing ? According to the BBC, it would [urlhealth[/url] and [urlemissions[/url]. Sensible idea, or complete nonsense ? Can it be done, or would there be too much resistance ? Would trout be put out of business ? What about those in North Scotland ?

one more time.

coffeeking is correct. fiddling around with the clocks won't stop it being dark all the time in winter, or light all the time in summer.

but, in spring/autumn, it's quite light long before almost everyone gets up. i for one would like that light 'moved' to the evening.

on friday i came to work in the light (7:30am). and left from work in the light (5pm). today i will be going home in the dark - how is this an improvement?

Please let me know when you are. Ours are early o'clock until you finish, which is of course, never. The idea of fixed hours is out of this world. And what is this "lunchtime" you speak of?!

Sorry, feeling sorry for myself this morning. Will shut up now.

Douglas Adams: "time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so".

So that clears that up nicely then.
