Poll: Woo-hoo, the clocks go back to GMT this weekend!

[B@Th*nG]

BST 4 EVA.

 

[413x]

Of all the years, we should have had a trial run staying at BST this year.

A huge amount of us are now getting up 5 minutes before starting work from home so light mornings make absolutely no difference, we just lose an hour of daylight in the evening.

What.. That's a waste of 4 good minutes sleep!
That's 20 minutes a week!



I wish it was GMT+2 all year round.
I'll settle for GMT +1.

GMT is poo!

Why would anyone want darker evenings?

I will be setting my clock to 19:40 when this country had some balls

The old excuse of “helping the farmers” doesn’t wash anymore as every modern tractor I see has enough light bars to illuminate a tennis court on them.

It never washed. Farmers are one group who can easily set thier schedules disregarding the numbers on the clock

 

[Stu999]

We invented time*

*some of this may not be entirely factual

A bold claim indeed

GMT + 0.5 and leave it alone forever tbh.

So we'd be on the half hour and the rest of the world would be on the hour?

There are some time zones that are +/- 30 minutes but I can't think of anything much stupider. Oh wait, BST all year round would be stupider

You're such a troll, but I'm immune to this shenanigans.

I've been working from home since mid 2017 and it hasn't bothered me in the slightest.

Yes but you don't count .

I genuinely think I could win a seat in Parliament if I started the BST party..

 

[Feek]

Yes but you don't count .

/me ponders forcing the forum to GMT and setting it so it can't be changed

GMT is the reason animals go in to hibernation. If you want to be responsible for those animals giving up on life for 50% of the year, that's on you. If you're not sadistic, BST and warmer weather is the only option.

The only thing more regular than clock work is Feek's GMT fanboi post every year

BST or 0.5 makes most sense!

If only we could do that this year. We could wake up at the end of March and Covid-19 would be gone and even better we would not have to have put with GMT

 

[Yas786]

Should be BST all year round.

This a million times. Absolutely hate it when it gets dark at 4pm :/.

I’ll take longer daylight evenings over getting dark earlier.

 

[Nasher]

Surely farmers can just get up at a different time if it's that big of a deal? It's worse for everyone else so should be scrapped.

Yeah, that's always bothered me.

Even if it was true, farmers are a tiny fraction of the population; why would the time be so catered to them?!

That's a fair argument, I'll not benefit a jot this year.

 

[Zefan]

Good. BST is a monstrous thing.

They need to be up in time to block main roads in rush hour though!

Tbh I love the Autumn in particular and look forward to the clocks going back. "The Long Dark" as I call it is my favourite time of year.

I quite like the long summer nights, but the light mornings can **** right off, birds going mental and it being light when it's still night time is no good to me.

Anything before 7AM is still night time as far as I am concerned. The Long Dark fits in much better with my Night Owl tendencies.

 

[Blackjack Davy]

I'm so happy that we'll be back to GMT (UTC, Z, etc) this coming weekend.

We invented time, we invented Greenwich, we invented longitude and we invented clocks*

We'll be back to proper time again... BST, you can do one!

Everyone gets an extra hour sleep, except for insomniacs who can have an extra hour staring at the ceiling.

Ban.
