Back to the original subject did everyone remember to put his or her clocks forward? I just put the bedside clock forward last night, as there are so many clocks to change these days. I seems as though each new electrical item we buy carries a clock. There are seventeen clocks that all have to be altered and that is without changing my watch.
I was listening to the argument in favour of keeping daylight saving time all through the year and was expecting to hear all the old arguments for and against. What really surprised me though is that what they actually want to do is have daylight saving time during the winter and then put the clocks forward an hour in spring as well.
This would mean that when GMT says it is 01.00 am in winter our clocks will read 02.00 am. Then during summer when GMT says it is 01.00 am our clocks will read 03.00 am.
The panellist said that 86% of all road accidents that involve children take place in the evening rush hour, so the old argument about children going to school in the dark is an old chestnut that in fact prevents us from stopping more children being hurt.
