I hate getting up in the dark with this change I would be doing that for 5-6 months of the year rather than 2. My children would walk to school in the dark even on the shortest days they can still get home in the light at the moment. Who we are doing it for bankers and business men they have already destroyed our economy!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02483768510865967887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-73662928952662382712010-12-06T13:44:16.690+00:002010-12-06T13:44:16.690+00:00@Anonymous 17:34

They want to ignore other UK Constituent countries and favour a European stance, albeit a totally pointless one. <br /><br />Does the English Express not also realise that by changing the timezone we will abandon the "great British institution" that is Greenwich Mean Time? Something that has been the keystone of timezones the world over since it's inception? <br /><br />Such an anti-British heritage stance from the Express is unusual and I do wonder what thier ultimate goal is with this whole issue.anon1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-87584975626119894272010-12-05T17:34:23.045+00:002010-12-05T17:34:23.045+00:00As pointed out previously, we are going to get THE...As pointed out previously, we are going to get THE SAME amount of daylight whatever the fucking legislation.

I am actually surprised that people actually claim they want the time zone to move forward an hour.<br /><br />In Wales, the sun rises at 8:30 currently, and sets at 4pm. With the new time, the sun will rise at 9:30 and set at 5pm. Surely it is better to have it at the current situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-76442338466305619662010-12-04T23:00:28.900+00:002010-12-04T23:00:28.900+00:00An Express reader living in the borders area of En...An Express reader living in the borders area of England/Scotland will have been very confused today.
