GMT or BST ?

[Leekbrookgull]

The 'old chestnut' of changing the clocks is all most here. I for one either wish to leave them as there are now BST or maybe BST +1

the clocks going back is normally a novelty for about 2 days then its ust a long slog praying for summer

agreed, winter lasts BLOODY ages

I remember when they went a few years without changing them. It was bloody awful, dark until nearly 9.00am.

But surely our "correct" time is GMT, and the changing of the clocks is for the summertime, so if we don't change them, then it's GMT all year, and we miss out on the extra hour in summer evenings.

I say we should carry on changing them.

I think old father time should DO ONE

And if you're going to Hartlepool, don't forget to put your watch back thirty years

We adopted BST during World War 1 to give vital workers in industry and agriculture an extra hour of daylight working time. Being in the EU we should adopt CET which is basically GMT+1 but given an option to stay on GMT all year round. When Scotland becomes independent they will no doubt want to keep this as they are now otherwise during the winter their days will only be 5 hours long.

As I live in Grimsby I dont have to change the time on my watch as it is 1978 here as well.

We spend two months more in BST than we do in GMT.
