Always takes me a couple of weeks for my body clock to adjust. Is it time to stop this?

Yes, of course it is. And everyone seems to agree on that every year.

Don't get on any planes, it could take you years to recover!

Nope. If it's such a bad idea why do most other countries do it too?

do they? if that were the case, we'd have stopped. i think most people quite like the longer summer evenings, or are you suggesting we permenantly leave GMT?

Is there any material advantage to keeping it going. I know it has been suggested that accidents drop in lighter mornings.

Disadvatages outweigh the benefits of keeping it. Here's a good video which explains why: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84aWtseb2-4

we move forward in the summer to give us a longer evening. accident statistics in the morning would move to the evening another time of year.

I thought, when it was discussed, that we'd move to BST permanently. Whether that would then be renamed to GMT, I don't know. I find it a pain changing, it takess my cats ages to get used to it.
