Adopt British summer Time from mid February to mid November.
Almost nobody looks forward to the clocks going back, at the end of October, and despite this, we persist with this oppressive schedule.
My proposal is to adopt BST from Mid Feb to mid Nov. shortening the dark winter evenings. I believe this would be very good for national morale.
It is said that the mornings are too dark in Scotland. On the current regime, it is broad daylight in Edinburgh at 8.00 am by the end of January. As a Scot, I am sure that mid February would be a good moment to move to BST. It is a long haul through to the end of March.
Light at the end of the day is far more useful for healthy recreation and exercise, and environmentally, less energy would be used with lighter evenings, because more people are up and about in the afternoon.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
