No good deals around? We took a bank loan as they're cheap at the mo and it will be paid back in 10 years at about the cost of our old leccy bill and no more oil needed for the CH hot water tank and they will produce for our lifetime and more.......

They tried leaving it back in, I think 1968/9 I know my son was a baby, everyone complained and they never did it again. makes no difference to me, only in the fact that I had been putting the light on in the mornings, now I won’t have to for a while. I love the early evenings, curtains drawn some candles burning, very cosy.

Hosta - you're only 27! And healthy! Why so pessimistic?
Agree about light evenings being good but we'd still need lights and heat at the start of the day so it balances out. I don't see what's to be gained by changing and Scotland and the Isles will still have short daylight hours in mid winter.

I have to say I prefer GMT at this point in the year because I have early starts many days and I find getting up in the dark worse than a shorter afternoon.
Same. I like things this way around. It was nice getting up an hour early this morning and having an extra hour potching about before work. It's killed my evening walks off in the week but I'm lucky that I can swap to lunchtime instead
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
A little sideline. Why do we "go back" less than 2 months before the shortest day, yet it's over 3 months after it that we " go forward"? Surely going forward before that would harm nobody and help many? I've never understood why and nobody has ever explained it.
