Yep -- an hour lost .... and you never seem to get the chance to sleep in an extra hour to make up for it (or at least I don't!)

yep.. they dont let us sleep 1 hr more..why..for some to have more money >:( >:( >:( >:(

but they dont think that the workers physical power drops druing that period so no extra gain :D :D ;D

and in summer as its too hot we need to wait for the temperature to drop before going sleep..This is 02 AM minimum.. :(

why dont they just leave it alone. no need to keep putting them back and forward, how many other countries do it, i guess everyone does.

They've tried just about every combination over the years, left them alone and even moved it 2 hours - don't know which way though :-/.
It's OK for you suverners to suggest leaving it alone, what about Hamish McSporran up in the Highlands?  :-/   :y   :y :y :y

SWMBO really did book a driving test for a Hamish McSporran :-X

Oh please no.... we have this every year "We lose an hours sleep tonight!" or "We gain an hours sleep tonight!"

Why don't they leave it alone?

Evidently, it`s we farmers whom dictate the Autumn/Winter change back from BST; but no-one`s ever asked me though!.....Personally, I`d much prefer to be on BST (1 hour ahead) time all year `round.;)

No, it means it'll be lighter later, so you can see more of the misery. ;D
