Topic History of: Did you remember to put your clocks forward?

Angel	The clocks going forward only benefits the English and Welsh. Mornings can be darker making it more difficult for farmers, commuters and school kids. Wasn't it brought in for economising fuel useage? We don't need to do this anymore surely?
In the Know	If we can all put our clocks forward (or back) and "pretend" that it is a different time to what it actually is ... why can we not turn the clocks back by 24 hours every Sunday night and have 2 Sundays in every week - and get rid of Monday entirely ?
ReadyTeddy	Robbiex, I have heard that about the farmers too, but what I don't understand is that actual daylight hours are unchanged - whatever the clocks say. Why don't the farmers just forget about messing about with that hour and work in the daylight as needed?
robbiex	They are thinking of having 1 hour extra all year round, so that it will be lighter in the winter evenings too. However farmers are opposed to the idea because they can't see their produce till 9am in the winter, and this will affect business. They tried this idea in the late 60's (before my time) and it was dismissed due to the opposition from farmers.
giles2008	Didnt need to. My HTC Hero smartphone did it for me!! Its the only clock i use.
