Clocks going forward/ back
« on March 29, 2020, 10:59:45 am by The Red Baron »
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.

Mid late 60s  they stopped changing the clocks as an experiment  but decided to go back to moving them

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.
