Summer and Winter Time

 

This weekend we move clocks back for winter. This will mean that mornings will be lighter and evenings darker.

I have no problme with this movement, but we should have the same time as the rest of Europe. It would make business and so many other things os much better. It might even increase economic activity, by a small amount, which would halp us all.

But there are always those who are against this, quoting Scottish farmers who would have problems caring for livestock or other spurious reasons. I've never known a farmer, who gears his day to the clock. Animals don't, so they always keep their time about feeding and turning out.

Note that if Europe changed to our time, the British parliament would vote to change it again, so we weren't in line with Europe.

It's nothing to do with practicality, it's all to do with being different to Europe.
