Why, for heaven's sake? I have already made my point about why we
should not and I'd say that the vast bulk of the population agrees
with me.

Why not? It's a free world or are you in control now. If you are the
ruler of the world I think there may be some people outside forming an
orderly queue who may wish to ask some questions.

We should be on BST all year round, for the reasons given.

No I cannot agree. We should be on GMT all year round. Just get up at
the appropriate time for the task you intend to undertake. Also France
and Spain should be on GMT as the bulk of these countries is nearer the
meridian.

Utter rubbish.

Thank you for putting consideration and thought into your wordy and
witty reply.


GMT is stupid... at any time of year. If it's dark in the morning, you
have the imminent daylight to look forward to. If it goes dark in mid
afternoon, you have only darkness and doom to look forward to.


Funny but it's always dark in the morning. There has to be dark for
there to be a morning. Part of the attraction of living in northern
Europe is the changing of the seasons. I am sorry if you have trouble
with shorter days and equate it with "doom".

Human nature dictates that double summer time should apply throughout
the year. Check the time of this post and you might guess why _I_ want
it!

Actually human nature if left to its own devices would have us changing
our habits in accordance with the seasons. The following BBC reference
makes a small comment on how humans dealt with things prior to
artificial light.

My first question would be,
Daniel Corbett, why?

Hey no that's unfair. I may be mad as a fish, but don't do me down with
a "DC". Why? Irrational sense of neatness. I want the sun up there when
the big and little hands are on the twelve, if you see what I mean. More
selfishly I don't want to try to sleep when it isn't dark and others are
out and about making noise. You know how it can be in the summer with
the windows open and someone passing by in the mobile disco, or perhaps
you are lucky to escape that kind of thing.

Eh??
My question was directed at Tudor Hughes as the self-styled
'ruler of the world' anyway!

Mmm, that wasn't obvious. Well not to me :-)
