Who actually gets to benefit from the ‘extra hour’? Surely it’s Sunday anyway so no alarm set? Therefore wake up naturally?
Everywhere is still shut till 10 so not like I can do more in the spare hour I’ve been awake 
I don’t know..maybe I’m rambling because of the body clock mix up
Have a great Sunday anyways  |

No alarm set on a Sunday?? I need a job change. As a farmer we benefit from the extra hour purely due to it being lighter earlier |

I'm really confused now. I swear it gets darker earlier When the clocks go back but others seem to think it's the other way round so I'm not sure anymore. |

It gets darker earlier in the evening, but it is lighter earlier in the morning |

For a few weeks. Then it gets darker in the morning I think. Doesn’t it? I’m sure it does. |

You can take a time out to confirm your answer… |

I don't understand how it helps Farmers. Yes, it's lighter in the morning... but it's darker in the evening, there's just about the same amount of daylight as there was yesterday.
Do farmers have set start and finish times? I thought the only set times were to make sure tractors were on the road during the two rush hours  |

People are thinking that the clocks going back is for benefit.
It was the other way around, clocks were moved forward from GMT to create EDL, extended day light, during the summer.
I believe during the war it was actually moved forward by 2 hours.
This was to make better use of the increase in daylight hours that occurs during the summer months.
We move it back at this time of year to put it Back where it’s supposed to be.
It doesn’t really make any difference to me in the winter, it is dark when I start work and it’s dark when I finish work whether the clocks are changed or not. |

It’s why I prefer summer… going to work in the dark and finishing in the dark sucks |

We always stop what we are doing and get out on the road at rush hour, even if we have nowhere to go, it’s fun  |

My favourite past time is running the sheep down a busy A road and stopping all traffic for as long as it takes |

"School kids. It’s not so dark to walk to/from School."
Kids don't walk to school, they all get chauffeured there and back judging by the amount of cars parked up and blocking the roads round most schools morning and late afternoon |

"School kids. It’s not so dark to walk to/from School."
This. Many years ago there was a trial of not changing the clocks in winter. It was still pitch dark when children were walking to school, and drivers were half asleep because it hadn't gone light yet. Number of children hurt in morning road accidents that winter went through the roof. The next year went back to normal, and the number of accidents dropped again.
Note: Going back to normal winter time did not cause any increase in accidents on walking home from schools, because drivers had had all day to wake up. |

Its an historical anomaly which makes little sense, and I believe the research shows more negative than positive affects. The EU actually planned to stop the change from this year but that's been shelved for now. |

"Scottish farmers benefit greatly from the change in clocks
Really? Tell me more…. "
This is such bollocks. Farmers work in the dark. They have lights and stuff. |

Why can't we just stay on winter time all year round then? |

I don’t think it makes a difference to farmers but it makes a difference for commuters / school kids. |

They get to go to school in the light. And go home in the dark.
Don't see what difference it makes really. |

Daylights Saving Time was actually invented by a golfer who wanted to play longer in the summer. It was then adopted as an emergency measure in WW1. It's a total nonsense we still have it in 2022 ! |

Never understood this, although not disagreeing. Surely the numbers of hours of daylight remains the same, and farmers don’t knock off at 4 when it goes dark…. |
