    Sorry had not finished when I posted and the system will not let me edit for some reason.

    Any other comments just post as normal.

    I used to think that unless I woke up and changed all the clocks at precisely 2 am - that I would be out for the next 6 months !

    I was only 7 years old at the time !all

    I like the change so we get brighter mornings but it's a nightmare when you have a small child. We're going to try and put our 2 year old to bed a bit later so she doesn't wake up ridiculously early!

    I am fed up with humans thinking they know best and changing things so it fits the economy better. Admittedly, I am in a mood today.

    I would personally much prefer the clocks just to stay the same, I think we will all know when summer starts and winter begins without a ‘time difference’ I don’t think there is any need for it, all it really does is put people’s time line out of sync, who even thought the idea up to change times ?

    I prefer GMT. I think it would be dreadful if we didn't go back to proper time in the winter. The mornings have been far too dark lately and it would get much worse if they didn't change.

    If they drop one it ought to be BST. Day length matters less when there's plenty of it.

    I just read that we need to blame the great great grandfather of Coldplay singer, Chris Martin!

    William Willett was a long time advocate for British Summer Time, although he didn't live to see it implemented, as he died in 1915.

    It makes me extra ill for up to a week, twice a year so I'd really like there to be no change.

    I’m grateful for the extra sleep but I feel all out of sorts all Sunday too
