Today really must be the marker of the end of summer and the dawn of the long winter months, the evening will draw in surprisingly quick tonight!
So what are your thoughts, should we stay on BST all year?
Anybody remember that program about the experimental run of staying on BST (in the 60's i think) but there was a horrific accident with a bus and a load of school kids in Scotland, on a dark morning, so we went back to GMT for the winter months.... but there are stories that that was all a hoax?
So if the argument is for kids going to school, how many still walk to school, and aren't our street lightings much better now? Or is the argument for the farmers?
In the far north it will be dark by 3.30pm on GMT In December but 4.30 on BST but would not be light till after 9am i think...
