I see our Euro-dictatorship is determined to force the UK into adopting Summer Time as standard - should be fun at this time of year - still practically dark at 9am - Idiots!

Of course we'll have to follow otherwise Ireland will be split North South on time zone - or East West across the Irish Sea depending on........... aaaaarghh

Surely after Brexit you can do what you want? Personally I hate it getting dark early so I voted for summer time all year round.

You'd think so wouldn't you.

However - Europe goes to single Summer Time Zone

Southern Ireland is part of Europe

So, do you get 2 time zones on one island with a borderless North/South split???

Can you imagine the chaos?

The fact that people north of around Newcastle will still be in darkness at 9:30 or even 10 am is of course of no interest to those in lower latitudes........

I am retired, I get up when it is light, winter or summer

I must be doing this retirement stuff all wrong. I used to be at work for 8am (an hours drive away), but now lie in until about 7.20.

Doing shift work for 21 years I never saw daylight during the winter especially during nightshift.

As for finding a paper round my 92 yr old neighbour has the monopoly on 3 of the local rounds..!
