I heard on the radio this morning, that some organisations (inc RoSPA), want
us to put the clocks back one hour forward of GMT in winter and two hours
forward of GMT in summer. We'll then come into line with Europe. RoSPA
reckons that it'll save 1,000s of lives and after an experiement in the late
60's they reckon they proved the point. Anybody remember when this
experiment happened?
I hate getting up and going out to work in the dark, and if the clocks stay
put one hour ahead of GMT for winter, that means it won't be daylight until
about 9am. Won't it then be the case that all that will happen is we'll end
up having more people killed in the dark mornings, rather than the dark
nights?
I came back from Seville, Spain at the end of September, and I thought how
bizarre it was that the locals were getting up and going to work/school in
the pitch black and it didn't get light until around 9am. What was even
stranger was that it was hot weather too - poor little English man is not
used to getting up in the dark and it being hot. Very contradictory. |
