? The clocks changed long before we went into the common market

//? The clocks changed long before we went into the common market//

Indeed they did. And now the EU has ruled that they must not.

This is a typical example of why our membership needs to end. What Earthly business is it of the EU to determine whether or not we change our clocks twice a year? What difference does it make to anybody other than those in the UK? How does our changing clocks impinge on anybody else in Europe?

Apparently the UK must choose whether to remain on either GMT or GMT+1 year round. If we choose the latter I hope our Scottish colleagues, many of whom seem rabidly in favour of remaining in the EU, are happy when they are scrabbling about in the half light at 11am on a winter's morning in Ardlui.

Yes I think we need to alter the Clocks this weekend , this Conservative Shower we have in charge at the moment have been in the dark far to long.

[weecalf]

Thanks herIam for vote of confidence

[douglas9401]

"rabidly". The Judge needs his tonic, nurse.

We only need enough light to complete the installation of the three big taps at the border.
They'll be clearly marked 'water', 'oil' and 'whisky' for your convenience.

[Hopkirk]

NJ, the EU has not said the clocks must not change.

All this means is that countries will be free to decide whether to change time or not.

[Hopkirk]

I withdraw that.

There is conflict in what different news providers say, but the BBC does seem to back up NJs comment. Apologies.

[New Judge]

Yes, the only choice is what time we permanently set our clocks at.

I'm not arguing for or against altering the clocks (though personally I'd prefer to keep year-round GMT). I'm asking what it has to do with the EU.

I agree@ 1728.

[weecalf]

There democracy for you ...

[retrocop]

Not my interpretation of democracy. I voted leave among the majority. We should be making our own rules. Not dancing to the EU Pariament's tune like we have been for the last 40 years. I am nobody's lapdog.

[agchristie]

Was there a meeting about this,if so,who took the minutes?

[Old_Geezer]

Another reason to leave, I have to assume you meant.

[sanmac]

Off hand, Miss Christie, no name springs to mind.

[tonyav]

Does 'another' mean more than one. Na can't think of one so there can't be another.

[Hopkirk]

Not being in the EU, we will have the right to do as we please.

My vote is permanent BST (GMT+1)

[EDDIE51]

We did that once ! It was NOT a success ! We went over to British Standard Time! (BST) in the early 1970s ! It meant kids were coming home from school in winter when it was compleatly dark. There were a LOT more accidents" There was such an outcry it was reversed after less than 2 years ! We went back to changing the Clocks !
