Clocks go back tonight

As a **** sleeper and an early waker tonight is my least favourite night of the year. I’ll be awake at 3am and it’ll take me a week to adjust. Why do we persist with it? Why not just stay on bst?

 

Because it wouldn't get light in winter in Scotland until mid morning.

 

But we're not Scottish farmers in the 18th century, ******* bizarre thing we do

 

Doesn't bother me a jot that we do it. Not that I live in Scotland but I have spent a week on business in Oslo and being half way to lunchtime before it even got light is a miserable start to the day.

 

The Scots could change their work/school hours instead of the clock.

 

I'm on a night shift at minute, and 12hrs is long enough but having to do a 13hr one is a real pain in the arse

 

Energy saving is one reason. If we work in daylight there is less need for artificial light.

 

I wish we would knock it in the head. Makes no sense to me.

 

Indeed that I believe was the original reason in the First World War for changing the clocks, more natural light less coal required etc... surely now there is no need however

 

There has never been a more critical time in the earths history to avoid energy waste?

 

Those flippin' Scots. First they want home rule, then they want our oil, then they want to close the nuclear sub base..... now they want more daylight.
There's many a mickle makes a muckle if you ask me.
