"I may live south of the Scottish/English border but I still like light mornings in the winter".

So does it need everyone to chang all the clocks to let you get up later and stop up later? We've been doing that for thousands of years without the need of summer time and winter time and all thta. Changing the hands on the clock ot the numbers on the digital read out doesn't change the amount of daylight there is.

It isn't changing the timepieces as such that's the problem - it's all those other devices you have to change as well, computers, phones, thermostats.

My grandfather clock it has died on the shelf
The hours of its chiming now are sped
With the hour going forward and the hour going back
All these changes have killed it stone dead.
No more will we hear in every season of the year
That cry of confusion and of doubt
"Is it back that I have to turn the clock,
Or is it the other way about?"
