I do feel hard done by losing an hour's sleep each March - and getting it back later in the year doesn't make up for it.<br /><br />I shall await tomorrow with curiosity.<br /><br />Gripes! - I hope you are well. I take your point on irony - that's a polite way of describing us as idiots isn't it?<br /><br />As much as I like Scotland, I am not sure that I would like the dark winters. An abyss indeed.Random Reflectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961882549625406258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18700538.post-17936305030614483552010-03-29T16:05:45.699+01:002010-03-29T16:05:45.699+01:00But don't you think that there is a very Briti...But don't you think that there is a very British irony in perhaps choosing to not actually have GMT (even though we actually have the original Greenwich...)?<br /><br />And it may be a mere 20 minutes darker for London compared with Cornwall - but it feels like the abyss of time has opened up and swallowed Scotland, it is so very dark in winter.The Gripes of Wrathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03682792010624435934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18700538.post-72472817501370738362010-03-29T15:18:21.832+01:002010-03-29T15:18:21.832+01:00It's funny how the scrapping of BST always com...It's funny how the scrapping of BST always comes up. I don't get it. Changing the times in winter only gives a lasting effect for a couple of weeks at most, and then it still ends up dark and wintery. But I wouldn't give it up, even if it does get darker in London 20 minutes ahead of Cornwall. (Mind you, I could do with my lost hour back...).
