Once again the crass argument that the UK should switch to Continental time (by "Continental" time they mean the same time zone as France, not "Continental" as in Finland!)
One of the worthless arguments those in favour constantly spout is that the lighter evenings will be better for children walking home from school and there will be fewer accidents. What about the increased darkness in the morning, surely that would also be dangerous for children walking to school, rush hour traffic etc? No, they never seem to consider that.
Another, newer, argument, is that lighter evening will save on the amount of fuel used to power lighting. But what is saved in lighter evenings is lost in the darker mornings.
Why don't people tell us the REAL reason they are so devoted to Continental time? That is, they want us to be on the same time zone as a certain other country, one which starts with "F", ends in "e" and had "ranc" in the middle. Invariably, those who are pro-EU are those who think we must grovel and kowtow to the French and that everything French is superior to everything British.
If they are so fond of the hovel across the ENGLISH Channel then why don't they go there and never come back?
