British Summer Time

It's my long weekend this week, 3 whole days off, it comes round every 4 weeks so not much bus driving today. So two photos taken, the one on the left was taken Sunday evening without flash and the one on the right taken Saturday evening with flash. Both photos were taken at exactly the same time 18:55.

So why is one bright and the other dark. Because we still have the strange ritual of changing from GMT to BST every March when the clocks go forward an hour. Come September they will go back an hour and the evening will suddenly be much darker. We did have a 3 year period some time ago when this little ritual was abandoned and most people preferred the lighter evenings.

Please Tony Blair, and I know you read this blog, before you go into oblivion do one last thing. Announce that in September the clocks will not go back and we can have the lighter evenings for ever.
