Subject: RE: BS: LGA (UK) Daylight Saving plans
All this messing with the clocks has reminded the weather man that it's supposed to be winter. Nearly noon and the frost still on the grass near the house. I blame the government.

At least last time we experimented with this it was to do away with the confusion of the changeover.
And the farmers, who complained about having to get the cows used to the change then complained about having to milk in the dark.

People seem better at noticing the diadvantages of what they have than realising the snags of anything else.

But if we all set our clocks/worktimes/schoolday/time the milktanker called/etc. to suit ourselves how would it all co-ordinate.
We'd be back to the days when the Townhall Clock set the time for a whole community, before the coming of the railways and a need for standardised 'railway time' throughout the country.
On the other hand working hours are becoming more flexible, maybe it would work.
