[dazzer6666]

Almost certainly clickbait (can’t see it reported anywhere else atm), but interesting if true…..

big if true

Please, please be true!

 

[Swansman]

How would it save energy?

Delighted that the Government have decided the best bet to solve the “heat or eat” crisis is to claim “it’s still summertime, bitches!” even when it’s -15 outside.

We could of course all just get up an hour later in Winter.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

So Greenwich Meantime is no longer good enough for this country, and the government wants us to line up with Europe through the winter!

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Way too dark in the evenings, so I am all for it. I can put up with going to work in the dark, but to come home in the dark is demoralising.

Quite ironic when Greenwich is never on Greenwich Mean Time ever again.

Although given all our technology is setup to change itself in 5 weeks time then good luck to all the techies out there who are now desperately going to have to change their plans / code.

I've never quite understood the mindset that it's not our lifestyle that's wrong, it must be time itself.

Blame the industrial revolution. People used to get up at dawn and go to bed when it dark. Factories decided set hours to be worked.

I'd rather blame the berks running the world now for not fixing the problems than the berks who created the problem in the first place.

Kiids in Scotland going to school in pitch black darkness was a problem last time round, among other problems. Might be justified in saving electricity usage through the lights coming on later this time round though.

 

[The Clamp]

Is this actually true? Seems unlikely.

This with bells on.

Who knows, maybe the Scots can have GMT, especially ironic given they may be independent at that point. I have sympathy for the Scots.

Fabrizio Romano just tweeted he expects it could be true, but not sure as he is waiting for confirmation from Naylor.

It’s a policy which doesn’t really solve anything but grabs a few headlines and becomes a problem loads of other people have to sort out. What about that makes you doubt it?

Ok, you’ve drunk too much, put the bottle down…..

Sympathy for the Scottish, meh

They won't have independence this year though. They should just do what they should have done last time - change the school hours from 9-3 to 10-4. Simples.
