the topic always comes up every once in a while when they cant think of anything to talk about in the news. What is the point of putting the clocks forwards and then backwards. Is there really any need to do this. Id rather it be light until 5pm than 4pm around Xmas. The only good side was the classic slip up from Jimmy Hill when he hosted Match Of The Day telling people to remember to put their cócks back tonight.

I like the closkc getting changed about every once in a while because it makes the French and Germans all annoyed.

i think the idea is so that school children can walk to school in the light.

my point to my mum was that its just dark when they walk home so whats the point anyway

Ah, but when they get to college... That's different. Oops, have I said too much?

Anyway, it's good at the start of the summer when the nights are much lighter all of a sudden. When do the clocks go back by the way?

End of October.

I don't like getting up when its dark, so I prefer the clocks going back. Doesn't make a whole lot of difference though.

I hate it getting dark early. It's depressing to leave work when it's dark out. Makes you feel like you've wasted the whole day.
Although you do feel a bit of a prat saying Goodnight to the security guards at 5pm when it's sunny out.

Hmmm, after weighing up those to arguments in my head, I'd still prefer for it to be lighter in the evening.

Also at the weekend when hungover, if you don't get up until the afternoon, you can go the whole weekend without any daylight. Not good.

I like it when it gets dark early, it makes you feel all cosy when you're sitting in your warm house. It feels sort of festive.

Yes, that's fine, but getting up in the dark is the most depressing thing ever. I detest winter. I blame SAD. I think they say two thirds of people living here have that.

I like it when it's dark in the evenings, but only in winter - in the summer I like it to be light until closing time

I hate it when it's light when I leave work. It means I've been there too long and the bastards won't piss off to bed.
