Will bi-annual time change be dropped in near future?

[Martinus]

It doesn't make any sense any more. It doesn't save energy and causes health problems.

[The Brain]

Do you save energy? We know you people cause health problems.

Touche.

[Josquius]

It saves lives.

It makes more sense to have a winter time and call the summer time the new normal as it covers 7 months of the year while the normal time only lasts 5 months. So as of next week, British Winter Time will be ending, and we'll be using CET for the summer.

I'd prefer to stay on summer time all year long.  But most people would be depressed going to work and school while it's still dark outside, so I'm not holding my breath for this.

The daylight saving time wasn't made for farmers.
It makes absolutely no sense anymore.
But keep a nuisance like that going. More sleep-deprived angry people will surely just be a boon to society.

Yeah, same. I'd rather have longer daylight evenings than light at 6 a.m.

[Norgy]

Me too.
6 AM is for old people (shit, like me!) and the paper delivery.

[Martinus]

Well, I do get up at 6 a.m. every day - I just hate it when it gets dark at 3 p.m. in winter.

[Norgy]

That happens around December. But it is dreary, I agree.

The sun sets here at around 6 pm now. Which is nice. Then there's room for a walk or a run while there's still daylight after work. Turning the clock one hour forward just gives me more daylight during hours I normally sleep. It. Makes. No. Bloody. Sense.

Daylight saving is the time equivalent of Nazis and the IS. And Byzanteens. And alt-hist fans.

I love having 10 pm sunsets in the summer.

[Tonitrus]

I'd think a tradeoff could be business/government simply changing operating hours around those times, but we know that would never happen.

But then it'd at least be more of a choice than a mandate from on high.

[The Brain]

I love having 10 pm sunsets in the summer.

Having those would be really weird.

[Josquius]

As I said it saves lives.
Don't Change the clocks and you have people traveling to work, and school, in darkness.
It's a recipe for dead kids.
