DAYLIGHT saving time could be scrapped across Europe after millions of people said they wanted to do away with changing the clocks.
More than 80 percent of respondents of a public consultation launched by the European Commission last month said they would support abolishing the practice.
More than 4.6million people took part in the massive consultation, which was instigated by the European Parliament as part of a review of the EU summer time directive.

I hope so! My study clock will tell the right time soon. October is not that far away now

Can't wait, fingers crossed it does happen!

Although I sympathise with those in the very far north but I've long thought that surely they just need to adjust their working hours to fit in with the light, school and work start and finish times could move forward or back an hour as required, I appreciate that might affect business but the locals would all be working the same 'business' hours and companies abroad are used to dealing with those in other time zones

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right, the only difference is they're wrong

If they scrap it then we will have an extra hour of useless daylight in the very early morning. I would rather have that extra hour of daylight in the evening. I'd even settle for double summertime - who needs it light at 4am when you could have it light till 11pm! I thought Scotland were in favour of scrapping it as it keeps their 'daytime' earlier.

Of course, it is possible I have got everything ar$e about face!

I'm confused as well EB as to whether they are talking about not putting the clocks forward or back. I certainly would hate them not going on in the spring, not putting them back in October, agree.

They have been arguing about this for decades, the Scots scuppered it years back when they tried leaving it as summertime for a couple of years.

They actually wanted to do a 3 year trial of double summertime a few years back - Scotland certainly put the kibosh on that! Mr EB thought the current plan was to stay at summertime and not go back in October, but I think it is to stay at what would be GMT for us. Even if it goes ahead, it won't come into force till we have left so, in theory, shouldn't affect us anyway.

I seem to remember some interference with this when I was a school girl. My mother thought she'd compensate for us having to walk to school at 8.15am in the pitch black by force feeding us tomatoes on toast and double Haliborange tablets before we set off......

Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.

As has been said, we don't need light at 3am, 10pm is nice for those garden drinking sessions. And sod what the Scots think.

“European Commission plan to abolish daylight savings time in the EU may create a “time border” in Northern Ireland after Brexit.

Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, announced on Friday that his officials would put forward a bill abolishing the clock change "Millions,” he said, “believe that summertime should be all the time."

If Ireland agrees to the change, observers believe Northern Ireland could be forced to follow suit, which could mean Belfast and London operating on an hours difference for seven months of the year. Alternately, Northern Ireland and Ireland could be on different times, which could conceivably wreak havoc and confusion over the porous Irish border.”
