If you're going to blame politicians, then there's three different
dates you might find useful to remember.

1916, when it was first introduced. 1966, when the start of a trial
saw the UK move to GMT+1 all year. 1970, when the House of Commons
reviewed the trial and voted overwhelmingly to go back to the hour
change.

But it still wouldn't be right all year, because Germany has an hour
clock change in autumn and spring, too.

The 1966 thing is what we need. Summer doesn't matter what time it is,
there's loads of light. Winter has not enough light, particularly in
the evening. So we want the clocks FORWARDS not backwards in winter.
Might aswell leave them forwards as summer doesn't matter then we don't
have to bother changing the clocks.

Apparently most English want the above, but not Scots for some reason?

It's not setting the clocks back - it's setting them correctly to natural
time.

It was bad enought, as a student, being Christmas Postie with the clocks as
they are now. Sunrise around 8.30am in Edinburgh and there's a lot further
north to go.
