No I cannot agree. We should be on GMT all year round. Just get up at
the appropriate time for the task you intend to undertake. Also France
and Spain should be on GMT as the bulk of these countries is nearer the
meridian.

Utter rubbish.

Thank you for putting consideration and thought into your wordy and
witty reply.


GMT is stupid... at any time of year. If it's dark in the morning, you
have the imminent daylight to look forward to. If it goes dark in mid
afternoon, you have only darkness and doom to look forward to.


Funny but it's always dark in the morning. There has to be dark for
there to be a morning. Part of the attraction of living in northern
Europe is the changing of the seasons. I am sorry if you have trouble
with shorter days and equate it with "doom".

Human nature dictates that double summer time should apply throughout
the year. Check the time of this post and you might guess why _I_ want
it!

Actually human nature if left to its own devices would have us changing
our habits in accordance with the seasons. The following BBC reference
makes a small comment on how humans dealt with things prior to
artificial light.
