in principle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time

The argument these days is for kids to be able to walk to/from school in daylight.Oh and from the scots who would be in darkness for most "waking" hours.

I'd sooner see the clocks forwards 2-3hours in the summer months to make uber use of daylight till midnight :)

WOuld be a pain in the **** when you start work at 5am though and go bed about 9-10pm!

Oh, my mistake!!

EDIT: Actually....blue where DST is applied, orange is where it used to be observed, red it where it was never observed.

Aye, loads of countries use it.

I wouldn't be all that bothered whether we junked it or not. Wowuld save a lot of faff, although most of my clocks change themselves with DST.
