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...


Yup.

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.


Building sites - at least in residential areas - don't start until 8. So
apart from a few weeks a year it would make no difference, and it would be
swings and roundabouts anyway when the light gets shorter than the working
day.

As regards farmers they already have to consider the light rather than the
clock.
