      it has nothing to do with brexit.

      the eu somehow unilaterally decided to do it and stop the time switching - that has been agreed on. and now the only thing that is left is for 27 countries to agree on which time to keep… 😂

      which will never happen and i am glad for that. i like these long summer evenings where you can do stuff and that is what would probably be canceled.

      doing it otherwise and keeping the summer time for all year would mean that the daylight in winter would start at 9am, contrary to today’s 8am, which would be terrible for out biorhytms (or so do biologists specializing in this area say)

          The evening stays. Daylight savings time does not change the amount of daylight

          daylight savings time does not change the amount of daylight, but it does change when the evening is, that is its whole purpose.
