Clocks go forward, therefore an hour closer to pub opening. Earlier waking is balanced out by earlier drinking. All is well.

It was not theirs to reason why,
It was not theirs to make reply,
It was theirs but to do or die.

Re: Daylight saving time
I've always thought the return from daylight savings time to standard time should take place at 1AM on November 1st. That would give the night before, Halloween, 13 o'clock- a "witching hour".
Re: Daylight saving time
I like the clocks going forward because of the extra daylight. The winter has been very depressing for me, causing health issues. Last Summer was not exactly amazing where I live, so that compounded the problem. The extra light cheers me up, and I bet a lot of other people too.
I believe in a society without rules, laws and regulations. A society where there are only ideas - strict ideas that must be followed to by the letter - and any failure to comply is punishable by death. This would be no dictatorship or police state, no one would be living in terror. It would merely be a 'reassessment of one's preferences,' people living in 'not-so-optimistic security.' So, welcome, those who are 'longing to be blindly obedient and loyal, unbeknownst to them.'
Re: Daylight saving time
Split the difference , change the clocks by half an hour and leave it at that .
