British Summer Time


A sly ruse to appease Scottish farm workers? A cunning plan to keep paperboys safe/put them in danger? The real reason we won WW2? A plan by pub landlords to keep everyone out in the beer garden for an extra hour? The only way you can play 20/20 without floodlights?

Whatever it is, I miss it!


"Britain was the first nation to adopt daylight saving schemes in 1908.
Some people believe the pragmatically minded British did it to make economy on candles." TASS, Moscow
