Clocks

Why, the closer you are to the equator the less the variation of day/night between the seasons.

Exactly, so 'there is more to gain' there otherwise it's light 6 til 6 all year.

Significant difference between 27° N (Southern most latitude of the EU) and 70° N (Northern most latitude of the EU) very very significant difference in daylight hours between the seasons between the 2. The latter being no daylight of in the depths of winter.

Huh?

 

[gasbanni]

That's not really true. The further north you are the longer it stays light in the Summer anyway without changing the clocks.

Open yer bleeding mind ! Research why it was reversed after it was abolished. ...then say it's not true you blinkered minded fool.
It goes the other way too I think kids were having to go to school in the dark ! And accident rates went up !!

Huh?

By there, I mean at the equator.

I wasn't arguing about why it was reversed, but commenting on your incorrect statement -

British summer time is fine contemplate why it was brought in its a sensible thing because of our geographical position !

The geographical position of Britain is not relevant to why BST was brought in.

I've got no time for this nonsense !!!! Just thought I'd like to rattle some cages and see what tries to bite .....I'm actually laughing at some of the insults I've bandied about ........really not trying to be offensive just antagonistic towards some on here !

Ok why was it abolished and then reestated ? You will find its because of the problems it was causing. And why was it causing problems ? Research it and try tell me why I'm incorrect. Over to you.

It was BST all year that was abolished because it resulted in the mornings being dark until too late in the Winter, especially in Scotland.

So, what is it that you think was abolished and then reinstated?

 

[gasbanni]

Research dear boy research.

 

[EFLImpudence]

Just tell me.

Did accident rates go up?, by how much?

 

[Bodd]

Will this not mean children will travel to school in the dark?
