Hear, hear!

Sorry, I disagree. Asking people go to work one hour later (or earlier as
the case may be) is much less confusing than having a small nation such as
ours split into two timezones.

The confusion is caused by altering the clocks at all. If "daylight
saving time" has proven benefits (overall) we should leave it as it is
- all the year round. If it is an overall disadvantage, we should
stick with GMT - all the all the year round.

The arguments about accidents in Scotland caused by going to work and
school in the dark are weak because this is offset (more than offset
according to some studies, certainly in England) by an increase in
accidents in the darker afternoons. So set it - whatever it is - then
leave it alone.
