Title: Clocks going forward/ back
Post by: The Red Baron on March 29, 2020, 10:59:45 am: Maybe not the right time for this, but is anyone else fed up of the twice-yearly malarkey of the clocks going forward and back? I'd be happy to stay on BST or on GMT all year round, but can we please decide which and do it?

I've put up a poll so people can vote, just to give an idea of preferences.

Great point mate. It's funny how when us oldies talk about how good life was in the mid to late 60s, some people on here sneer and try to dispute it. Yet they're all Labour supporters, and what was the Government at that time?

Why, none other than Labour.

But BST is BRITISH summer time. Who wants a moon on a stick when you can have a BRITISH moon on a BRITISH stick.
