There's also the annual call in the UK that we should stay on BST all year round and scrap the winter time change. That call normally comes from the Wail, who drop the ball on the fact that the winter time is GMT and if we stayed on BST, we'd actually be on CET.

GMT. The clue's in the name. We get to tell the world what time it is, whether they like it or not. Even the EU can't change time without asking our permission first...
