Default Is it day time yet?

Talk in today's Torygraph that the Scots will put the mockers
on it -
again. The proposal, apparently, has to have the agreement of
the
devolved assemblies.

There are plenty of us in Scotland who are fully in support of
the proposal, I can assure you, and we get pretty fed up at
being tarred with the same brush as those, all over the UK, who
are opposed to it.

If devolution has truly occurred, why can't the Scots just
arrange
their own daylight hours and leave the rest of the UK to sort
out
theirs?

Probably because Westminster has not actually devolved this
particular matter.

It's not as if a difference in time is going to cause too many
problems across the border. Some countries cope, quite
happily, with
different time zones within their own country; why not the UK?

Quite.
