Call time on this absurd meddling.
This time next week, the clocks of this country will once again be allowed to tell the correct time, instead of madly fooling us into living according to the Berlin meridian. I – and many other early-risers – will no longer have to get up in the dark, and the evening will come on a little sooner.
Idiots will claim that the change has deprived them of light, though the amount of daylight will remain exactly the same.
The shortening and lengthening of the days is a natural process which would happen gradually and rather pleasantly if we did not engage in this pointless fiddling.
The evenings have been drawing in for weeks. On September 23, sunset in London was at 6.59pm. Tonight it will be at 5.53pm. Next Sunday, after the clocks go back to where they should be, sunset will be at 4.39pm GMT.
Why not just leave them there for good? Are we so ill-educated that we cannot see that this violent twice-yearly changing of the clocks has only one effect – it forces everyone to go to work and school an hour earlier than they need to during the period when we are on Berlin (or 'Summer') Time?
What for? What good does this do?
We rightly want our food to be natural, organic, etc. Why then do we agree to have our time adulterated for months of every year? MOS.
