Ligher Evenings Bill
If the Scots want brighter mornings, then the simple answer is to the
Scotch to get up one hour later!
When we went on to flexitime, I did the exact opposite - I went to work
earlier and left earlier. I missed the rush hour in both direction, I was
able to park my car (which I was obliged to take to work under my contract
of employment) and I was able to go home before the afternoon rush, and even
occasionally in daylight.
The solution is simple....
Just get all th Scottish businesses and schools to change their opening
times from 9am to 10am
Everyone wins
Actually, no. Part of the road safety problem is this mad idea that schools,
shops and offices all have to open at 9 a.m.
It'd be much more sensible to have schools opening at say 8 a.m., offices at
9 a.m. and shops at 10 a.m. That way children would be safely in school and
not available to be run over in the rush hour; and they'd come out of school
long before the afternoon rush hour. And office workers would be able to get
to the shops after work if that's what they want to do.
