Hi I have never forgotten to change the clocks yet. I do however think it is about time we dropped the practice as it does not achieve anything worthwhile in this day and age. George Hudson proposed the idea of daylight saving in 1895. The German Empire and Austria-Hungary organized the first nationwide implementation starting on April 30, 1916. Many countries have used it at various times since then, particularly since the 1970s energy crisis. |

With things like phones and PCs changing automatically, I always have a bit of uncertainty as to whether they've actually done it lol. I think we should drop it too, but keep summer time hours. Light evenings are nice. |

I like the summer hours and would even appreciate a double summer time. Of course the same could be achieved by everyone waking up earlier, starting work earlier and finishing work earlier. |
