    With these things it is so very easy to see our own situation and not that of others. For me, sunrise 04:00 sunset 20:42 (GMT) on 21 June 2019. But it doesn't actually get dark until well after sunset. That would be fine by me. More chance of it being dark at bed-time! Did you miss the bit...

    In my view, any such benefit is largely overtaken simply by even early sunrise and later sunset quite shortly after the spring clock change. In summer it is so very often still light at bed-time and dawn occurs long before I want to get up!

    I have long hated the hour change. For a few weeks it makes a small difference, then it is dark (or light) at both ends of the day anyway. And I feel it takes about two weeks to adjust at each change. So I am perfectly happy with the idea of abandoning the hour change. However, if we do change...

    I'd like to know what is going through the heads of the undecideds. Of course, it could be that absolutely nothing is happening in their heads at all but, if that isn't the explanation, what would precipitate them deciding?
