Saving daylight
I expect most people will agree that British summer / daylight saving time is in general a good thing. Long light evenings and all that. But most people will also agree that changing over to it is a very bad thing. An hour of your life disappears into nowhere. Well this year, because Europe and America can't agree on when these changes should happen, I've had to do it twice. Which is not fair. At all. And coupled with seven hours jetlag, my body has absolutly no idea what time it should be getting up any more.
And it also makes no sense - fair enough if they want to change months apart, but to differ by one week - what is the point? There must have be a lot of confused international businesses over the last week.
The obvious solution is just that we stay an hour ahead all year round, but apparently that'll upset the Scottish farmers.

No no, GMT was invented for agricultural workers. And robots don't till the land, it lies fallow while we collect our Euro-rebate.
Claire, I have no sympathy for you. The clocks going forward is the best moment of the year, so getting it twice must be twice as good. Over here the religious parties oppose the whole idea of daylight saving, so every year it requires a new negotiation and happens at a different time.
How big is your doctorate, prettyhugedoctorate?
I'd like BST all year round.
(Not in America, obviously.)
The clocks going forward is perfectly enjoyable if you only put them forward in the afternoon.
Clearly putting them forward in the morning is best. Less morning, more afternoon! (It's sunny here. I like the afternoon.)
Claire, the main page claims that there's only one comment on this entry. This website sucks. Or my browser sucks.
I think your brower sucks. Do a hard refresh (ctrl-R) or something.
