I think there was an experiment some years ago when the clocks were not put back, if memory serves the idea was abandoned because of the increase in the number of accidents involving children during the darker mornings.
I’ll have to have a Google after another coffee or two

There are less children nowadays, let’s give it another go.

Hmm… RoSPA back the idea of abandoning the practice of putting the clocks back given the number of accidents during the afternoon school run/commute.
It seems a bit of a swings or roundabouts type situation although it’s worthy of discussion.

There should be no discussion on this clock meddling madness, not sure who actually welcomes it nowadays?

25

As a compromise maybe we should just alter the clocks by 30 mins

I hardly wear a watch these days. I think you can get ‘a feel’ for the time.
I amaze myself at how accurate l am… l even chime on the hour!

Mags, Thank You for the reminder.

I tend not to wear a watch on most days, just a stopwatch while out exercising.
The sense of ‘Empowerment’ and throwing of the shackles of time applies equally between not wearing a watch, or not wearing any clothes…But they do take a dim view of naked shopping in our local Tesco…
