I hope everyone is making the most of the last Sunday of until the end of March.

I'm sure there are a few people who will be happy for the lighter early mornings, but I'm definitely not one of them.

And just imagine how depressing it would be through the autumn if we were forced to all year.

There is an evidence-based consensus to drop DST, but YMMV etc.

@A_J_Millar I'm all for dropping DST and move into GMT+1. Our society is based around a 9-5 working day. Other societies are based around an 8-4 working day.
Whilst I respect this fact that this research was done by the British sleep society, it fails to take into account the huge advantages of extra evening light fit outdoor activities - it seems to start off on that, but the avoud it. For example, I am regularly outside in the summer doing things out gardening until 22:00.

@A_J_Millar and because I work full time, my outside hours would basically be cut by one hour from late March until autumn. That would be really bad - there's no other way to put it.
