British Summertime

[Raffles]

It's that time again. Every couple of years or so an MP decides to get some press coverage by suggesting that Britain should fall into line with Continental Europe and maintain British Summertime all year long. Personally I think that it's a good idea but, even though The Prime Minister is making cooing noises, I expect that this proposal will go the same way as it's predecessors...........nowhere.
What do you think?

Going nowhere, not happening. Even though it is a good idea.

the serious flaw in the argument is the fact that its british summer time

Clock changes are a pain the the arse at work, I'd happily do without.

Sticking on BST would make it darker in the mornings when no one gives a fuck, and lighter in the afternoon when people who aren't farmers are actually doing stuff.

Sounds good to me, I don't really enjoy going to work in the dark, working indoors for 8 hours, then coming home in the dark as well, shame they'll spread their butt cheeks for the scots though or it might have a chance of happening.

I like the clock changing thing, if only to piss off the French.

I'd rather scrap BST and keep GMT all year, it's annoying when you're trying to get to sleep and it's still light enough to read a book.

quite happy to abandon the stupid clock changing, but if we're doing it we should standardise on GMT, I Want my fricking hour back

Also quite happy to be standardised with Europe, provided they move themselves off their lazy disorganised European time zones and move to GMT we can all be happy.

If we aren't going to change I also think we should stick with GMT, afterall we are in that timezone.
