European Summer time ends - 30th October

 Darker nights yuk. I can remember back in the late1960's the clocks stayed at British Summer time for 3 years. Much lighter in the evenings!

Personally I prefer the light mornings. When I was working I would be coming home at dark anyway. At weekend there is the same number of daylight hours. 

If the clocks did not go back then sunrise come mid December and into January would be 9am. 
As it is it will be 8 am and not setting until 4pm. Far safer for children going to school in my view. Also means a better working day for those working outside in construction, highways, farming. I believe turning the clocks back makes good sense.

I remember the experiment with not putting the clocks back. I would leave for work in the pitch dark and return in the same night time conditions. I only saw my house and garden in daylight at weekends.

I do wish they would go for a halfway house by changing the clocks at the end of November and putting them back at the end of February. Much prefer it lighter longer in the afternoon as I am more likely to be up and around thern!!!

Should be left as it is !!!

I wish we didn't have to do it, a gradual change seems better. Daylight hours will shorten til Dec 21st whatever is done to the clocks.

I'll be happier to see lighter mornings.......hate setting out in the dark. Don't mind the dark evenings so much at this time of year.

Shorter day light

Plus one.

Our daughter lives in NZ where they do this different way round September and February. With our dates we have three different time differences to remember! I got into trouble from  two year old granddaughter this week as I'd forgotten their 8am our 8pm (different day) was looking forward to Skype at 9pm so no computer on and chatting to our son on phone! As from Sunday it will be 13 hours different. Keeps your brain nimble!!!! Exercise I could do without

I remember it too. Sadly working days for me it still happened like that with the hour change
