But putting the clocks back in WinterActually gives us less light in the evening.
If I had my way I would put the clocks forward in Autumn to give us more light in the evenings (when I can use it on the allotment after a day in the office) rather than less.
But then it would mean that Greenwich - home of GMT - never actually observing GMT itself and that wouldn't be right.
Oh! and Scotch land can have their own time zone.
