dayomesaydayo Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Been a debate going on for about a week. Apparantly some want the clock changes to stop so we get more sun during the evening/night. What do you lot think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afroman Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 No. It's not hurting anybody. Let us enjoy our additional hour snooze. Some traditions should be left alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seydou Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Quote Next year may be the last time Europeans set their clocks forward 1 hour, as the EU considers scrapping DST permanently in 2019. The European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union (EU), has recently pushed to end the yearly clock changes in Europe. If the initiative is successful, the last EU-wide DST period will start on Sunday, March 31, 2019. Each member state would then have the chance to decide if they stay on “summer time” (DST) year-round or change their clocks once more on Sunday, October 27, 2019 to observe permanent standard time in subsequent years. In that case, the upcoming time change would be the last joint switch from DST to standard time in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realone2016 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 An extra hour of sleep can only benefit everybody and better yet we should go further and implement monday as an extension to the weekend guarenteed to have a more productive work force. Massive difference coming back from a bank holiday. Mad that we tamper with time though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the fact we have a change it breaks up the year nicely . 4 day week would be live and more productive I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kompressor Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 I can speak from experience that a 4 day week had a positive impact on my productivity. I'd personally prefer a mid week break as opposed to long weekend though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
