Summertime

It looks like the EU wants to end the practice of changing the clocks by an hour in spring and autumn.
I hope we do the same.

Re: Summertime
How dare the EU suggest this - it's British Summer Time! We invented time anyway.
It's a good idea and should have been done years ago.
Lets hope it's not moaned about by the brexit crew....

No game should last longer than a movie. Probably.

Re: Summertime
I mean from a spectator's perspective.
Or just my own perspective......it's hard to keep someone's attention for more than a couple of hours....three at most, don't you think?

Re: Summertime
Too much standing around. Same with baseball & football.....at least with soccer the movement is fairly constant, with a short bathroom break in the middle.

Re: Summertime
the Telegraph saying we should be MORE in line with Europe. Must be fake news.
To be honest i think its time the clocks moving stuff was junked for good.
Little no fact - Until the mid 1800s everywhere in the UK worked on their own clock, based on sunrise and sunset times. So the time in say Liverpool was different by 10 minutes or so to the time in say Newcastle. It was only the introduction of trains that ran across the UK meant it was simpler for the whole of the country to work to the same time.
