The clocks are going back and I still don't understand the rationale... I suspect based on the text below we would piss off the Scottish.. :-)

Hundreds of lives would be saved if Britain's whole time system was shifted forward an hour, say council leaders.

The Local Government Association wants winter to be GMT +1, equivalent to British Summer Time. Summer, under the proposals, would be GMT +2.

Campaigners for change believe lighter evenings would make the roads safer for children and cyclists.

But any move to change the time system would be likely to face fierce opposition in Scotland.

The LGA, which covers England and Wales, wants a three-year trial of Single/Double Summer Time (SDST).
