I tried to explain this to my 4yr old son. I told him if he get's up at 7am he has to go back to bed for an hour "why" he says

So I told him cos the clocks go back so that means it will be 6am which is far too early to get up "why" he says again

This is what my mother insists on saying every year. It's Sunday for God's sake - it doesn't matter what time you get up!

i always thought it would be a good idea to do it on a monday morning - when you'll really appreciate it. (but then again, it'd be a nightmare for when the cloicks go forward...)

It counts for me - I work Sundays! I'm not sure whether my mobile resets itself or not though - and i use that for my alarm. So I'll put it back before i go to bed, but if it does it itself i'll be up at 5am instead of 6am!

I just leave my clocks. Save's me having to put them forward again in March.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents says 450 deaths and serious injuries could be prevented by having lighter evenings, and is calling for the clocks to be left alone in the autumn.

I find a couple of weeks after the clocks go back, I travel to and from work in the dark which I hate. You get a few weeks of lighter mornings and darker evenings, then it makes no difference - it's dark both ends of the day!

Yes, putting the clock backs is silly. This government should have changed it when they had a big enough majority. they're spineless twits.

smurfboy · « **Reply #13 on:** October 29, 2006, 01:46:18 pm »

Or perhaps they had slightly more important things to worry about?

It was introduced only 90 years ago (1916). As an aside, public street lighting was introduced in 1807.

BST was permanently in force from 1940 to 1945, and again in 1968 to 1971. We had double BST in 1941 to 1947.

It's not like these ideas are new. They've been tried before, and we've
always changed back again. Does that not suggest that the system we
currently have was thought to be the best, all things considered?
