An end to GMT

[FrancesFryer]

What is your opinion on staying on bst all year round.
Assuming that is, that it happens this year and is adopted by the uk as part of the mass adoption of eu laws. Personally I would prefer it lighter in the evenings and darker in the mornings

I'd much sooner have the light in the evening - when I can actually do something with it, like dog walking, than when I need to be on my way to work regardless of whether it's light or dark.

Most people can get up and go to bed when they choose to. I don’t care what time it is but I can’t stand everything changing twice each year. It takes me a fortnight to get used to and of course children and animals have no idea why everything’s suddenly earlier or later.
Please please stop changing the clocks!!

Come on people times move on what worked in 1847 was not to be set in stone surely?

The Greenwich Meridian Line is literally set in stone at Greenwich, and as far as I'm aware, the sun is still in the same place at noon as it always was

I'd be very happy to stay on GMT all year round, then you would just adjust to it naturally.
If it's easer to go to work or school in daylight then maybe we should shift the expectation that work and school starts at 9am and adjust the times of shops and schools opening. So we'd have winter opening and summer opening.

I'd favour having the limited daylight in winter that extra hour later. In the reality of heavily overcast/ rainy/ foggy days that make up the majority of weather from November to February, by mid-winter your usuable daylight is just about light by the time kids get to school and it's well into twighlight by school pick-up. Given that most commuters working 8 hour jobs won't have had a glimmer of daylight anyway, sticking with GMT is pretty useless in the majority of the UK.

I would much rather children had an hour of better quality light in the evening for walking home from school (more walk home than in the morning) and for after school sports.

If I'm going for a run in the morning, it's pitch black either way.

When I'm in the west of Ireland and daylight is naturally 45-50 minutes later than GMT I feel much better for the better timing of daylight. Less SAD.
