I think they should stay as they are - being light at 5pm means I'm less likely to step in dog turds (whatever colour they may be).

Spring Rises, Autumn Falls - that's how my granny taught me to remember it!

So on monday morning, it'll be almost light when I leave for work, and pitch black when I leave for home

"Spring ahead and fall back" is how I learnt it.

Is it a good idea? No. If we should take advantage of available sunlight longer, then we should shift our hours of operation. Whether the hours of operation change every six months or whether we simpiy go to a standard earlier schedule all the time does not matter; either would be better than what we do now.

Why in the world did Estonia go back to daylight savings time? After reasserting independence, if I recall correctly, it did away with it. Then, a few years back, it reintroduced the changing of the clocks, supposedly to keep international transactions smoother. Still, working in Estonia, I did not affect me much if I finally saw daylight at 10:00 am or 11:00 in December, or if the two hours of darkness in June fell between 1-3 am or 2-4 am.

*lives in a country with no daylight savings*

We get enough sun, thanks.

I find it all confusing as hell. Especially as half the clocks in my house change themselves automatically, but the rest don't. So when I get up on the Sunday morning - like right now - I have no f**king clue what the "real" time is...

Especially as I've just noticed that one of the clocks that's supposed to change itself automatically, hasn't.

I got up an hour too soon to go and watch a soccer match....

ah, I love it. One more hour to loiter in bed. Excellent.

According to the SNP it'd be dark before 3 in certain parts of Scotland if the clocks weren't set back, and it would make the school-run dangerous. Don't know quite why that means the rest of the UK has to change as well, I suppose the UK is too small for different time-zones.

I bloody hate it...

One hour less sleep, one hour more?

Forget it. At least FIVE hours less sleep for me. And that for the whole effin' week they change the hour.

I'm like the wee birdies, they have trouble with the DST too

IZzzzzzzzz.

my kids dont stay in bed an hour longer, so I get woken up at 6.00 instead of 7.00

Aye, try explaining GMT to a fekin 2 year old

Sending the clocks backwards and forwards always seems to me as useful as trying to make a piece of string longer by cutting a piece off one end and tying it to the other.

As winter approaches its nice to see that Heartland remains in British Summer Time.

Only 5? I get the full whack, 182.5 hours less sleep. By the time October comes around I normally have my fingers gnawed off with sheer exhaustion. Never ever gotten used to it.

HAH Try explaining it to me alls I know is that it involves trains !

Next year North America will extend the period of Daylight Savings going to from Mar - Nov instead of Apr - Oct. You can thank the yanks for that one.

Much of Europe will lose an hour soon. I still hate it.

Hate it as well.

We set our clocks forward last Sunday (March 9).
