I tried to explain this to my 4yr old son. I told him if he get's up at 7am he has to go back to bed for an hour "why" he says
So I told him cos the clocks go back so that means it will be 6am which is far too early to get up "why" he says again

yay! an extra hour in bed!
This is what my mother insists on saying every year. It's Sunday for God's sake - it doesn't matter what time you get up!

i always thought it would be a good idea to do it on a monday morning - when you'll really appreciate it. (but then again, it'd be a nightmare for when the cloicks go forward...)

BST was permanently in force from 1940 to 1945, and again in 1968 to 1971. We had double BST in 1941 to 1947.
It's not like these ideas are new. They've been tried before, and we've
always changed back again. Does that not suggest that the system we
currently have was thought to be the best, all things considered?

Or perhaps they had slightly more important things to worry about?
Aren't children's lives important?

I can remember this (the second time period!). It was horrible - we had to walk to school in the pitch dark and everyone was issued with orange and silver reflective armbands. Whenever they talk about changing the system with the clocks, cows (and milking) seem to come into it!

I just leave my clocks. Save's me having to put them forward again in March.
And I thought you prided yourself on your knowledge of the apostrophe!

Wow! I'd forgotton all about those arm bands until now! I can clearly remember those dark winter mornings and ariving at school just as the light was dawning.
