Does anyone else really hate this time of year?

Wanted to finish an outside job today, would have been happy to work
till 6:30 but couldn't see a bloody thing by 5pm.

Makes the day seem so much longer.



Try Aberdeen.
You might think the few hunderd miles further north is negligible in the
global scheme of things, but it makes a significant difference.


Who cares about daylight in Aberdeen? Not me. I agree completely with
TMH and think we in England should stay on summertime and preferably
double summertime all year round


I'd have triple BST. I hate mornings anyway, and who needs light to drive to
the train station, sit in an office then go home...

But having light evenings would be so much more useful...

The only people I can think it would affect are the construction trade and
farmers. Farmers can do what they like when they like, so that just leaves
the issue of a building site starting late and running until 7pm.

:-o
