Subject: RE: BS: LGA (UK) Daylight Saving plans
It's interesting how they sensationalise the thing by starting "Hundreds of lives would be saved" - which, of course, is extremely difficult to confirm or refute.

Okay, BST is a relatively recent thing (20th century?), but during the time it has existed, no-one has succeeded in coming up with a more workable alternative. Whatever happens it has to be a compromise.

The frightening thing is that, unless enough people make a noise, these people either with short memories, or maybe not old enough to remember, will succeed in causing mayhem.

Perhaps they can be persuaded to look at the actual GMT dawn and dusk figures, so they may see exactly how things would be affected if they mess with them.
