At least then midday on the clock is midday (withing 10 mins or so)
of daylight.

I can never get my head around what that means in relation to when it
gets light dark relative to the clock... B-).

DBST and stick with it?

It didn't work in the 68 - '71 trial, what has chnaged that means it
will work now? The prime reason put forward for this is "lighter
evenings". But the root cause is that the working day is offset
relative to actual daylight. If "they" want to fiddle with things
move the working day to be in sync with or earlier than daylight.
That is work 8 - 4 or 7 - 3, Oh does that mean you have to get up and
go to work in the dark? So fing what, that is what DBST or similar
will make the northern half of the country do.

Carry on as it is now?

This has my vote, followed by stick to GMT.

I'll vote that way too. The real solution would be to make the day
more exact as the year progresses. I think that means the clocks
should adjusted by -3.945 seconds every day for part of the year but
sticking to GMT is nearly as good.

It makes working 9-5 a bit silly though.

Sorry for the top - post above

Steve - I doubt whether the nice people who keep Big Ben striking on time
would be too enthusiastic
about your "real solution". GMT ayr is the only way to go !

As we are on the subject of time when was the hour/min/second adopted,
why is it so universal? The current calender is relatively modern, and
the beginning of the new year varies in different countries. So when was
our way of recording the time adopted, is it universal? Incidentally GMT
is no longer the standard for time, as with lots of other things the
Yanks have high-jacked it.

Quite, it doesn't get really dark up here in summer anyway and we
aren't that far north compared with the top end of Scotland. Winter
is the worst part, not light until nearly 0900, dark at 1600 (GMT).

Nowadays GMT is referred to a UTC.

Only by USAnians, who hate the fact of GMT referring to Greenwich, ie
England. To them, Universal means American. They think they are the centre
of the universe.

IIRC the proposal is to adopt CET (Central European Time) which is
always 1 hr ahead of our present time. It would make sense for the
business community to be on the same time scale as Europe (minus
Portugal) and would mean in general darker mornings and lighter evenings
for us.

My family have an American branch (grandmother's sister and co
emigrated) which got converted to the American way of thinking quite
quickly. Great Aunt came over to visit for a fortnight. I got chucked
out of my bedroom and was to sleep on a camp bed in the "front room".

On arrival GA handed my mother a list of people she'd invited to join
her for breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner each day. They had to be
accommodated in the "front room" so that had to be pristine. It was,
fortunately, summer. For two weeks I slept in a tent in the garden.
The family ate in the kitchen (once my mother had served food to the
congregation in the front room!).

Hated Americans ever since!
