Clocks going forward / back

[Tree13]

Made the mistake of scrolling through Twitter during my lunch break.

Apparently the most pressing concern in the UK today is the changing of clocks. There appears to be a vocal support base for NOT moving back to GMT as winter approaches, on the basis that the current approach makes evenings too dark. Twitter being Twitter, there's some fairly angry ranting on the subject.

My position is thus: moving the clocks back in Autumn is sensible, because it delays the onset of dark mornings as long as possible. Who on Earth wants to get up at 6:30am and go to work in pitch darkness? In fact, I don't see the need for moving the clocks forward in Spring - it achieves nothing of substance and whilst I don't know about anyone else it certainly messes my body clock up for three or four days.

I say stick to GMT. Don't move the clocks forward any more. What does the collective wisdom of GOT think?

Never been a fan of it getting dark after 4. But there is only so much light in the day during a British winter, so not much we can do.

You should stay off Twitter on your lunch break.

Threads like this always have the potential to go nuclear after an Everton loss draw.

I'm all for staying on EST/GMT as I agree that dark mornings are horrid.

I'm guessing this is a morning person vs non-morning person thing.

I hate mornings anyway. If it's still dark, it's not even freaking "morning" so why am I having to get up?!?!?
Add in that it's all toasty warm under the covers and the room is chilly/freezing...just koff!

What does the collective wisdom of GOT think?

Do we have this?
And if so when did it start because I missed that memo!



*no wonder @GrandOldTeam is rattling the collection tin. Cost must have been astronomical!
