Clocks go back: for possibly the last time

Postby yoda you can call me » Oct 25th, '14, 20:37

The clocks will be turning back one hour tomorrow to mark the end of British Summer Time.

The time will officially be pushed back at 2am, which gives all of us an extra 60 minutes to enjoy over the weekend before most people resume their working week on Monday.

It could be the last time that the UK lags behind mainland Europe as MPs and academics are backing a switch to Central European Time, which is currently one hour ahead, to ensure lighter evenings throughout the year.

Scotland could run an hour behind the rest of the UK if they oppose the proposal to tick in time with Europe and petitions have been launched to stop changing the clocks completely.

From tomorrow, early-risers and commuters will be met with lighter mornings due to Daylight Saving Time and afternoons will also be drawn to a close earlier throughout the autumn and winter months ahead of Halloween on Friday.

The clocks last changed on 30 March when the time was pushed forward one hour to create longer and lighter summer nights.

It won't happen if the Tories win the election next year.
They love being different to the rest of Europe - even on something as basic as this.
Changing the time in a country like the UK is ridiculous.
