Should England join the European Time Zone

[Paddy]

Whs.

Btw, it's called GMT for a reason! The rest of the world takes its time from us, the Great British!

Rules is rules, and we all know where we'd be without rules, France!!!

France was on GMT until they let the Germans govern them in WWII

WHS. It would seem rather ridiculous to not have Greenwich meantime in Greenwhich.

If we want more light, and want to be more in sync with the European working day, why are we tampering with time? Why not just all get up an hour earlier?

Personally I work either CET but as I work in computers I use UTC:

UTC replaced GMT as the basis for the main reference time scale or civil time in various regions on January 1, 1972

Why would we want to be on Berlin time?

Who won for flip's sake?

Must be wonderful to be on Berlin time in Portugal though.

I think you'll find Portugal is on UK time

No Andyw option

True but it's not the worst other option we have ever had

No Andyw option

[George Parr]

Yes. Where's the poll you lazy git?

Added poll, now back to bed for me.

[Sysman]

I know a few places in Denmark and Holland (so I suspect it happens in the rest of Europe) that have their UK facing departments working on UK time.

No thanks. The hour ahead means you have time to sip coffee and read the papers before the phone starts going.

[Churchill]

Why don't we just remain at GMT the whole year round?

It is a myth that Scotland actually wanted this.

Keep it GMT +1 all year round - I just hate those frikkin dark evenings.

[HairyArsedBloke]

Keep it how it is.

If you cannot cope with 1 hour difference between UK and EU then you are not competent to be in international business in the first place. The US manage and they have 4 time zones across their main land.

It also give a competitive advantage when dealing with the US.
