I wonder if whatever Nero heard to start the ball rolling was ...

If we moved the clocks this side of the shortest day at the corresponding date on the other side of the shortest day, it would probably be this weekend or next weekend,

We have a few days in October, all of November and 3 weeks in December, leading up to 21 December under winter time - 8 weeks. Then we wait until the last weekend in March for 'proper daylight' to return - 13 weeks! It's just wrong, wrong, wrong!!! [B]If[/B there is a need for the adjustment, then it should be for a shorter period and the emphasis should be on giving us lighter evenings as early as possible in early Spring.

Grrr - I try not to get angry about things I can's affect but I'm afraid this is an annual aggravation to me. I've written to my MP and to other politicians who I know have taken up the cause but ....
I think it would be an excellent topic for a referendum. Let the people decide.
It was a mistake on my part DM, honest, the way some of them weathermen speak it's not surprising, anyways look at the pages this thread has climbed to.

Re: The clocks go back this weekend

We change here on the 2nd Sunday in March and the 1st Sunday in November. So it's 8 months of Daylight Savings time; wish it were year-long .....
