For me, i think, just leave it alone. Stay on permanent GMT. After all, the rest of the world calculates its time from GMT. Why not just be British about it and say GMT and nothing else.<br /><br />I remember the former experiment in time, but I was living in Europe (Belguim) so it didn't really effect me, unless returning to the UK on Holiday. It got quite confusing, especially when booking ferries etc on the Continent and translating the correct time for the return journey.<br /><br />There's a suggestion that we should adopt Central European Time (CET) to bring us into line with most of Europe, but that still requires clock adjustments twice a year. So, I can't see any sense in it.UKViewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114944341930758335noreply@blogger.com
