"Why do we still bother with this?
The farmers still need it don't they?"
Are you saying farm animals wake up at a different time all of a sudden so we need to change the clocks? That's insane.
The idea of changing the clocks is insane and should be scrapped. |

Do you like day light ?
If so, that’s why.

The amount of daylight in a day doesn't change according to what time we slap on a clock. If you want a particular amount of daylight when when you do something, do it at the time when there is that amount of daylight. |

Amazon loves it because the time jump creates a legal loophole where a "Next Day Delivery" can technically arrive yesterday if the driver hits 88mph in a Transit van during the transition. It’s the only way they can maintain their Prime stats without inventing teleportation. |

🤦🏻♂️ but when it was introduced there was no such thing as electric lighting, so when this country actually gave a fuck about farmers, it aimed to give them as much daylight/ working hours as possible, I know it seems unnecessary to someone who’s lived in a concrete jungle all of their lives, but to some people who need to see what they’re doing, it matters.

For swingers, BST is the "Golden Hour." That extra bit of evening sun provides just enough natural lighting to ensure no one accidentally goes home with their own spouse.
It’s about visibility, safety, and making sure the pampas grass in the front garden is glowing at the optimal frequency to be able to find the right 'key' holes. |

So you don’t enjoy the longer brighter summer evenings then? |

This made me laugh more than it should! Thanks for brightening my Saturday morning (before the extra hour!) |

Farmers don't actually care about the "light"; they just enjoy trying to convince a cow that 5:00 AM is actually 6:00 AM. The only joy they have left is watching a confused cow. It’s basically gaslighting with livestock. |

I love daylight, so we should leave it set to summer time. Otherwise we end up with dark morning and dark afternoon by the shortest day. If on summertime be just dark morning and get to early evening and go dark. |

Apparently farmers don't like it either. Plus it's causes an increase in fatal road accidents and heart attacks the next day apparently due to disturbing people's sleep patterns. |

It has nothing to do with farmers, and never has. It was done so an entitled rich man could play golf after work. According to Professor Hannah Fry. |

Could farmers (and anyone else) that needs to see what they're doing not just wake up earlier? |

I doubt any UK government has ever done anything for the benefit of Scots farmers.
I always understood it was done so that kids walking and cycling to school in the morning were safer during the winter than would otherwise be the case on darker mornings. That was of course before they were all taken there in badly driven cars! |
