BST confusion

[Alison]

I think the line they use these days is that they dont want school children coming home in the dark.

Doesn't make any odds to most of them as they're cossetted up in their parents' cars anyway

Was just googling BST and found this:

"Some campaigners in Britain would like the country to stay on British Summer Time (BST) all year round, or in other words, adopt Central European Time and abolish BST. Alternatively, some would like Britain to adopt Central European Time and jump forward another hour during the summer (adopting a Single/Double Summer Time from Britain's perspective). This would make winter evenings longer, thereby reducing traffic accidents and cases of seasonal affective disorder. Opponents point to the longer hours of darkness on winter mornings, especially in Scotland, which might well cause an increase in road accidents. It has even been suggested that Scotland should be placed on a different time zone from the rest of the UK, which, unlikely though it may sound, would be possible as the UK Parliament could legislate to put the UK forward an hour, and then the Scottish parliament could put Scotland back onto GMT."

That would be weird travelling from Scotland down to England and the time changing!!

At least it's alphabetical this time.

naughty Mod

what will be 05.30 on Sunday would have been 04.30 if the clocks hadn't gone forward

yer but.....

...lets start with your use of cutlery. Knife and Fork...with PIZZA?

What is that all about then?

now see, what gets me is Brits attempting to use chop sticks when we are brought up to use knife and forks! That's just darn silly.

SD used to try to use them, saying 'you have to try' - no ya don't matey, just look at how you are wearing your food down your shirt and just look at how cold it is - whilst me, I'm onto the coffee and brandy

British Summer Time - do you think someone should tell the weather? It's a bit parky out.

I reckon we should do without the spring one but enforce the October one
