Malt 379 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 They're on about bringing our clocks into line with Central European Time (CET), which is GMT + 2. This will give us lighter evenings throughout the whole year. My main worry with it is what happens with the millions of kids walking to school in the pitch black winter mornings? ,,and of course there's the fact that we'd loose the early nightfall that most of us enjoy in the winters.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12517762 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

harrycatcat 31 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 This is a quote from the report "It would mean, for instance, that instead of the sun rising in Newcastle-upon-Tyne at 0714 and setting at 1723, as it does at this time of year, it would rise at 0814 and set at 1623." It seems to me that folks in Newcastle-upon-Tyne are going to lose out big time as they lose an hour at both ends of the day according to the report???????????????????????????????

I never said you didn't live in a rural area, did I? 7 miles is a bit far to walk anyway, don't you think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think you might of read that wrong fella quote Bringing the clocks forward by one hour would bring the UK into line with Central European Time (CET), which is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) plus one hour. It would mean, for instance, that instead of the sun rising in Newcastle-upon-Tyne at 0714 and setting at 1723, as it does at this time of year, it would rise at 0814 and set at 1823.

I have just been back to the link and it has changed from 1623 to 1823 because I cut and pasted it after I read it, I did not type it out, now it makes sense Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You did say children walk in rural areas, just pointing out I'm in a rural area and the kids around here have a bus that practically picks them up at the door. So it isn't just townies that have their kids driven to school.... all this because I asked if children still walk to school lol....nevermind... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
