Time Travel. A regular thing for the UK.

Reading this safety appeal regarding the clock changes in the UK. This appeal seems to happen at this time every year.

I must confess this moving back and forward through time sound quite Sci-Fi but in reality just seems to cause confusion and, according to safety groups, deaths on the roads. To most of us it's simply running around changing our clocks with either an extra hours lie in or getting up and hour early according to our body clocks.

However, this one looks slightly different as they seem to be proposing moving the times to allow us more evening time and then go back to the resetting the clocks every six months.

If we need to move the time to give us more daylight in the working day then can't we do that as a one off and then just stick to the hours we have? Changing the clocks does not increase the number of hours of daylight just when it is.

And, it appears one place is already fed up with it. The Shugborough estate in Staffordshire is keeping BST when the rest of the UK moves to GMT on the 30-Oct. I'll go down to our offices there and see how they explain being late to the local management. I'm sure that will go down well.
