Daylight saving. Why

I don't see the point. If we didn't have the BST the sun would rise at 3 instead of 4, and go down at 9 instead of 10. Big deal. Why do we have it?

The history of BST can be viewed here. < http://en.wikipedia.o...i/British_Summer_Time >.
There have been many vested interests over the years, from farming, industry and those doing school journeys, to name a few.
I'm pretty ambivalent about it now, so will be happy to go with the majority.
Just think about it!

There are very many people in the UK who are not old enough to remember the 1968 to 1971 experiment with GMT+1 in winter, and GMT+2 in summer. So now these people are asking for another trial. Whatever the advantages, at the end of the '68 to '71 trial, the majority of the British people declared themselves to be against a permanent change. Seems we don't learn from history after all.
