Sadly I missed marking the day, but I see from the SRSS tables (London) that
the evenings started - to the nearest minute - to draw out last Wednesday

I noticed this looking at data for France. In Correze, where I'm headed, it's now 1711, which, to my mind, really does make a huge difference psychologically and is preferable to lighter mornings.
I hope that one day in the UK we'll move from putting the clocks back in Autumn for a year and then move onto double summer time.
Yes I understand the arguments against, but surely there are more in favour.
