Another pointless thread

By moving back an hour we actualy loose 2 houirs of daylight!
It doesn't make sense in the modern era!
K110+DA40, K200+DA35, K3 and a bag of lenses, bodies and other bits.
Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...
PPG entries.
Personally I am happy with summertime all year as it dark mornings bother me less than seriously early light mornings would, but I know others disagree.
The meteorologists here have suggested an half hour shift and stay on that all year, as it would put us nearer our "correct" time.
Due to a certain virus the whole debate seems to be on hold anyway.
It beats me why we make life so difficult. Rather than constantly changing the clocks why not agree to start an hour later if it's dark, or an hour earlier in summer? In fact, if we staggered the start time we could potentially halve the morning and evening congestion at a stroke.
Or to really mess things up, move the whole world 30 minutes into the 'middle' of the time slot and leave it there!

Difficult, for about thirty years I did clock changes in County Durham and North Yorks. It took Friday, Monday and part of Sunday. This one was the busiest, as the master clocks had to be stopped and restarted. They were done in groups and timed to get from the last one back to the first to do the restarts.
I have reset two clocks today
I tried in vain to get hold of an oak cased master for our porch link
But I managed to get one of these link

For some reason we still mess around with clocks at this time of the year.

It depends on what time you get up!
