Plan to bring UK clocks forward

[Ajthedragon]

It means sun-dials won't work. And worst yet, I hate dark winter mornings.

& This just proves my philosophical theory of time existing

What, you didn't know before that the sun rises and sets at certain times rather than whenever it feels like it?

No what I mean is time is just a creation of man kind, it isn't exactly real, like people say time was here since the universe began but things like years, months, weeks, dates and clocks they only came around when man came around, so my philosophical theory is that time doesn't properly exist it's just a creation of man kind

Interesting... Time did exist before man, man just made a way to record and calculate it. Before man did this, animals died, the sun rose and set, the seasons changed and so forth, these are all ways in which time were naturally recorded and changed - man just put names to it and made accurate calculations and records. Another deep philosophical stand point which contradicts your statement - if man created time, then when did man get created? If time did not exist, then the past did not exist.

Touche - if that's how it's spelt :L

Time clearly moves lol man just created a means of measuring it. Otherwise it's like saying distance doesn't exist because humans invented the calculations of measurement

[Mr-Trainor]

you cant just mess with time, surely?

That's what I was thinking.

Stupid idea. We don't need a time change. They should be solving problems, not making them up.

Agreed.

I'm personally against this, I'd rather our time stayed as it is.

[-:Undertaker:-]

This is ridiculous, we are not near Berlin therefore we do not have the same time as them. You cannot change the times, it would be like California switching to the same time zone as Washington D.C. which is on the other side of the country - and we should be happy with our time zone, from what I know GMT is where time was rolled out across the world as the international standard (I may be wrong, time experts can correct me if so).

Call me sinister or even paranoid, but why this sudden desire to make us match the rest of Europe? I wonder.

Well BST was only introduced in 1972 and I think the UK survived before that I think it's a good idea just to put them forward and leave them there. Advantages apparently include, less carbon emissions, more tourism and less accidents as there would be lighter evenings all year around. I don't think it has anything to do with the EU.

I'd love to know how they came with those ideas Surely there would be more carbon emissions if it becomes easier to drive (thus the less accidents)? It can only be either/or, surely?
