Clock change most likely will be abandoned

Please don't get me started...

I am fed up with it all, just set the dam things to winter time and be done with it.

People can't tell time on clocks now anyway. They're going to make really bad fighter pilots. Hell, we'll probably have drone instead since they won't refuse to fire on our own people.

I never liked the hour change and I do prefer the winter time, since it the original time and imo, here we do not need the change, since we had a good daylight period around the year.


PS: Steed, I just remember, you joke but we did that here one time, around 1995 or 96. Portugal change to summer time but then did not return to the winter time and in next year we change it again to summer time, so it was gmt+2.

It was lovely, at 10 p.m. was day, since it corresponded to 8 p.m.
Why, do not remember, government or something stupid in it.

Fine by me.

The farmers always live many years with out any hour change and did great! Sun time and period.

Changing clocks might have been necessary when not everyone had a watch or time-telling device, but now the same effect could be achieved by just starting and ending the working day at a different time during the year.
