Karin, in that case I guess that you dont put your digi clock back by 1 hour, but put it FORWARD again, but by 23 hours? |

If you think youve got problems in UK, then consider Australia, we are already in 4 or five time Zones, (Even Im confused) We move our clocks on the same day as UK does, instead of being 11 hr difference it will be 9 hrs. you go forward we come back. Some of our states wont change, Some border towns have different times on each side of the road. And why do we need another hour of Sunshine in Australia? . |

Changing the clocks twice a year is an expensive and disruptive nonsense. If the Scots want to start shool or work an hour earlier or later surely it would not be difficult. There is some evidence that the accident statistics were fiddled to make the case when the experiment was tried in 1968 -72. The big mistake? was that we stayed on BST. We should have stayed on GMT. If you want to see a detailed history of the ways politicians have fiddled about with time over the years go to: http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~jsm28/british-time/ Bob |
