Still Waters Posted March 28, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Britain's clocks could be changed to give an extra hour of daylight all year round, under plans being backed by both main political parties.Labour and the Conservatives are believed to be in favour of moving clocks permanently forward by an hour, bringing the country in line with much of the rest of Europe. Campaigners say that longer, brighter evenings would make roads safer, reduce energy bills and benefit tourism. Health and morale would also receive a boost, with the injection of daylight cutting cases of Seasonal Affective Disorder or 'winter blues', and giving more time for outdoor exercise after work.

RamblingRebel Posted March 29, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 29, 2010 They've been talking about this since I was in primary school. Hope something finally gets done after 25 years! (god typing that makes me feel old) It's no fun going to work in the winter in the dark, then coming home in the dark! Ideally we should try to shift the earth so the developed nations are nearer the equator...the everyday can be a summers day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor Posted March 29, 2010 #3 Share Posted March 29, 2010 What do I have to do to get this to happen? I'd vote for anyone or sign anywhere to help this get pushed through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(god typing that makes me feel old) It's no fun going to work in the winter in the dark, then coming home in the dark! It won't make any real difference to coming home from work in the dark in winter, all it will do is prolong the period during which you have to get up and go to work in the dark. And anyway, how do other countries cope? It gets darker in summer much earlier in Spain and Italy than it does in England ...... And at the same time all year round in Germany We should stick to real time all year round - or if we much mess around with our clocks, change them at the end of April.
