Just read this story:

Do we really want twilight to end at around 11:30 in June? I like it
dark when I go to bed!

I can see the advantage for the Winter months however.

It's about time we scrapped GMT. Personally I'm sick of going to work in the
dark, then finishing work in the dark. It can't be healthy to only see
natural light at the weekends.


I agree! One of the joys of working in France, as I sometimes have done is
the much more sensible use of the available daylight. Come the end of next
week, outdoor activity will be impossible in the week for those who work
normal office hours until the end of next March. At this time if year it is
always a depressing prospect.
