Does anyone remember when they decided NOT to change the clocks? Must have been c. 1970 I get up around 5am so it's dark anyway at this time of year but next week it will be lighter then surely? Kate has confused me now ! My children are adults now but I would not have liked them to set off for secondary school with their friends in the darkness, if the clocks didn't change. Gwyn |

I'm not in the far North of Scotland but for what it's worth the change in the clocks is considered most beneficial for school-children. Idea being they will not be walking in the dark - I know, not many do walk nowadays! - at 8.30 and 3.30. I can't remember which year the clocks were left but I do recall a spate of incidents and a number of disgruntled people! It's now nearly end of October - in 54 days time it will be the shortest day, uphill from then on! By the way, in Skye on June 21st it never gets truly dark! Where my mother lives, there is no light pollution so you see the true night - and it doesn't happen! |

It's going to be dark at one end of the day, whatever you do with the clocks - personally I prefer lighter mornings! |

Changing the clocks can't alter the sun ! You work your hours around midday to equalize it. Bob |

I don't know why we change them at all of GMT, but why now at end of October, then at end of March the other way surely it should be end of February to be equal. lol |
