We are in GMT now.
we would basically stay at GMT+1 all year round if they decided to mess about.

GMT+1 (or CET as those dirty forrins call it) sounds like a good idea on paper
conjuring up images of long, light balmy evenings with everyone sitting outside enjoying the "European-style cafe culture" brought about by the changes to the licensing laws a few years back. But I think we all know that the reality would be nothing like this, we'll all just have to pull the curtains across to stop the glare on the TV.
Also, it's just not British to move away from reassuring, familiar old GMT, one of the few leftovers of the glory days of the Empire.
That said, it might be worth doing just to piss off the Scots...

If the french were able to call it PMT you can be sure they would be keeping it.

Most likely
Although I think those humourless French would construct their sentence to form the far less amusing TMP. We didn't bail their arses out in two world wars to allow that to happen.

No quite, we would still be putting our clocks forward to stay in line with the contementals during the summer.
