Plan to bring UK clocks forward

If it means that it won't be getting dark at 445pm in the middle of December then I'm all for it.It will also have less of an impact on the environment as it does now.

 

Yes it would be better because the winter days are too short , you go to work and it's dark you come home and it's dark, I don't know why clocks go back never have done , is it something got to do with farming ??

 

So Ireland would take their time from Greenwich and the UK wouldn't!

 

I would imagine that we would follow suit.I would hate having a 1 hour time difference every time I go over to watch a game.

 

I would say so. Those living in Louth or other border counties and working in the north would have a bitch of a time.

 

It could be quite frustrating.

 

That would be a pain in the Hole id imagine.

 

Extra drinking time before euro games at home with the kick off time being around 9pm

 

crazy idea if you ask me.

 

this time change was brought in in the first world war to save energy on lighting and heat cant see them changing now

 

Tring to figure out how it being bright at 6am rather than 6pm saves heat, light and energy.

Not to mention road fatalities in a Study in the US went down when they forewent putting them back one hour in the winter.

 

Yeah surely if people dont have to turn on lights and heat till 7.30 instead of 6.30 will save a fortune over the year..

 

I remember when this was tried back in the last century. It means dark for longer in the morning and over in the west this meant dark at 9 in the morning. Kids travelling to school in the dark was a big concern.

I would prefer to go to work in daylight and come home after dark rather than the other way around. Kids leave school in daylight either way.

 

I go to work when its dark, and I come home when its dark. I actually dont see the daylight. Im starting to see it brighten up the last 2-3 weeks, but its still dark,.
