an extra hour of daylight??????

Not sure if this has been covered before, but whats your thoughts on the idea of not altering the clocks at this time of the year and going to plus two hour GMT in the summer.

Its been getting put over as giving us all another hour of daylight, which as we all know is rubbish.
Its only another hour of daylight if you dont get up until about 9 am.:D

It will be safer for kids coming home from school, but it will be dark when they go.
Most come home around 3.30 these days anyway, ... dont they?:skp:

And in the north it may not be daylight until 10 am.:(

Personally I dont mind one way or the other, it will still be dark when I go to work and dark when I get home.

 

No, wrong way round, it will be lighter in the mornings when they go and darker when they go home!!!

If we leave the clocks at GMT plus one it will be darker in the mornings but lighter in the evenings.

But the point is, whatever we do, we dont get an extra hour of daylight.

 

I prefer it to be lighter in the mornings during winter. I don't fancy teeing off in the dark!

 

dont they have lights on the fairways now Doghouse ha ha ha :hehe:

 

I wish they'd stop this altogether. I'm sure it si not necessary these days anyway.

 

No unfortunately they don't, but if the group in front of us are particularly slow, we usually ask them if we can borrow a torch!

 

Fact is, it's dark when I go to work and dark when I come home - 8am and 5pm. So it makes no never mind either way. I'd just really rather not have the bother of changing all the time pieces in my home: 8 clocks, a cooker, a fax machine and the (old) video. Thank God all the rest - computer, Palm top, alarm clock, tv and clock in the car - reset themselves! Wish they all would.

 

It's the microwave clock I have problems remembering how to change, which can make further problems as it's the one I most often look at when I'm in the kitchen!

I've done plenty of jobs where I have been indoors all day, not getting a chance to go outside, apart from a brief walk at lunchtime. It's fact of life with a lot of jobs nowadays. I just wish they'd leave the clocks where they are - as they are now.

 

Of course the most important clock to change this time is the one on the central heating boiler!
