Is there any good reason why the clocks have to change twice a year? The reason the whole thing was brought in was for energy conservation but I don't know what sort of difference it makes, especially here in Ireland.
Is it worth it?
 
Seem to remember a debate about this some years ago and one of the reasons put forward was that if we did not change it kids would be going to school in the dark-perhaps a bigger problem in rural areas... mind u most of them drive now dont they?
 
I think the clocks should go back ever Monday as we'd get an extra hour in bed!
