You’ve set that up for someone to edit it in a funny way at haven’t you?

Oddly enough, I recently switched to an Android phone and I'm struggling with the autocorrect and dynamic keyboard; I swiped clock but it did suggest the word without an L.

It's about time.

Exactly so. Have a like.

Euro MPs vote to end summer time clock changes

I'd be happy to be in permanent summer time so it's lighter till later in the day in winter. It means a darker start to the day in winter, but that's doable.

It seems that countries might get to choose whether they want to be in permanent standard or daylight savings times though which seems a bit strange as you could have neighbouring countries nominally in the same time zone permanently an hour apart.

Need Brexit now more than ever.

We should have double daylight savings in the summer. Be light until midnight

Thought this for years. Stagger it over two weekends.

I remember when they tried this out in the late 1960's in mid-winter we went to school in the dark because it didn't get dawn until about 8-45am in Sunderland and Newcastle. At the time they gave the idea up because they said the number of road accidents had increased and they were especially worried about kids going to school.

When they actually analysed the figures they found accidents had gone down. But the kneejerkers won and we went back to the present system

As long as it’s BST, but knowing the 2 moron major parties we have they’ll do whatever fucks us off.

We've already seen it on here. We own time; British Time (GMT) for British People; The clock stops here.

They used to do it in WWII
