I love the changing seasons but autumn is my favourite. <BR/>It was horrible when we went onto that experiment in the 60's, it seemed to be dark ALL the time, even with our lovely glowy armbands. If Scotland changes time zones it will be a bit confusing for those of us who live in the borders but I expect we will get used to it.Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13379877200876051274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340201738604749473.post-66614079895055905352007-03-25T08:56:00.000+01:002007-03-25T08:56:00.000+01:00I remember those armbands as wellI remember those armbands as wellBromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190741956540256769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340201738604749473.post-51636349662828613262007-03-25T08:55:00.000+01:002007-03-25T08:55:00.000+01:00I like it when the clocks go forward, except for t...I like it when the clocks go forward, except for the first i.e tomorrow, Monday morning.

I think they should go forward at the end of Feb though.<BR/><BR/>However, I disagree that we should stay on +1 all year round.<BR/><BR/>I remember, as a child, in the late 60s when the Govt experimented with not turning the clocks back. <BR/><BR/>All we children (well in London anyway) were issued with reflective armbands because, of course, it was dark on our way to school.<BR/><BR/>It was also dark on our way back.<BR/><BR/>Thing is - in winter it's dark. Not putting the clocks back at the end of October doesn't really help. We still have the same number of hours of "light". <BR/><BR/>Personally, I HATE getting up in the dark. I would rather it was lighter in the mornings (in the winter) than the evenings.<BR/><BR/>P.S.
