It seems to be in the news every year, yet every year nothing is ever done about it. The question on everyone’s tongue seems to be “should we put the clocks back for winter?” in my personal opinion, I think that we shouldn’t. I think that with a lighter evening, there will be more time to do things outside, it will help tourism and genuinely make make many people feel better. I find it so depressing when you finish work all the time in winter and it is already dark before you get home. I know that some people will disagree and say that when you get ready in the morning that if it is dark this can also be depressing but I just feel that when you wind down after work (and the majority of people finish around 5ish) then it is nice to see a little bit of a day rather than finish work and get straight into night. There are also more benefits like people getting home safely because of the lighter hours and people being able to do more with their days. The problem that the UK now faces with the clock changes is Scotland. I understand the reasons as to why Scotland would not want to change this because their light of day is slightly different to the majority of the UK. I hope however that the government and politicians of all sides look into what will benefit the whole of the UK rather than if it has some more negative impact on one part of the country specifically. If it has more positives than negatives for the majority then I really do hope that we will stop putting our clock back for winter and we become GMT + 1 and get more from our days. This subject will be a complete mixed bag of jellies and I know that some people really disagree with it so if you want to share your thoughts then leave a message below.
Remember to put your clock back tonight if you are in the UK!
