Is It Really Too Much To Ask? (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
It seems a fairly harmless suggestion but it met with considerable hostility. Those who rise early say that, in fact, we would be much better off sticking with Greenwich Mean Time all year round. And then you have those who say that we should have British Summer Time in the winter and then double British Summer Time in the summer. This is what happened during the war. But this argument seems to find little favour with Europhobes. ‘No. We can’t have the clocks going even further forward than they do now because then we’d be in the same time zone as the Hun and the bally Frogs.’ You even have Cornish people saying that, under the present system, they have midday when it’s still only 10.30 in the morning. And that any change would cause noon to fall between their bacon and their eggs. And in Scotland, of course, where it’s permanent daylight in the summer and constantly dark in the winter, it makes more sense to dispense with time altogether and become a hedgehog. Naturally, road-safety organizations are particularly vocal on the issue.
