Summer time suqares much butter with our daily routines. Argument about road accidents is also irrefutable. But the daily routine is the key issue to be taken in consideration. We no longer wake up and knock on at the crack of dawn, then we knock off later and tend to keep late hours in the evening. Sleeping after sunrise and staying awake after sunset is a palpable waste of electricity (though some like it).<br /><br />My proposal would be in our time zone to switch to summer time (GMT+2) only, for Britain keeping to GMT+1 all year round and stop bothering to set clocks in October and March. Thus the Isles would stay one hour behind almost the rest of EU. Renaming the time zones is also conceivable. The new British all-year time (current BST) should be called GMT, and our new GMT+1 - of course the rest of the world would also have to adjust to it!<br /><br />If this can't be pushed ahead, I'll back up your February proposal.<br /><br />The most absurd thing in it is that the winter time is our actual time, not the summer one. But in the winter solar noon is in Warsaw at 11.24 a.m. - much before the middle of a working day, in the weekend not much later than many people get up...student SGHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01367244307612092688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650609952674727820.post-52724635153427104482009-10-26T17:04:59.379+01:002009-10-26T17:04:59.379+01:00Psychological is the most important.
