As they get older they get better. You'll be shouting at him/her to "GET OUT OF BED" at 1pm, when they are 14.

We need to campaign for your hour to be reinstated

Being as we have an extra hour, why not make a difference in someone's life and give that hour to help someone else, even if its popping to the shops for an elderly neighbor, or drop some food of to the local food bank, might not be much to you but it can make a big difference to someone in need

Although part of me used to feel I'd stolen it from someone with a late March birthday.

Besides, as one of the few who gets two birthdays a year, I can't really complain

Yes; well to be correct;

It was on WET ( Western European time) the tried CET ( Central European Time) but because it's so far west, this made daylight a bit difficult, do they reverted to WET.

They have also experimented with no winter/ summer click change, and a two hour clock change.

(WET is officially designated as "UST + 0.00".

GMT is no longer the officially international time index baseline. UST is the international standard ;

For most approximate purposes it is, but technically ( and how it's derived, it isn't )

UST( properly UTC) s a time standard; GMT is a time zone;

UST is derived from an atomic clock standard; GMT is originally derived from the earths rotation ( which is slowing, and therefore increasingly inaccurate)

For instance you can't use GMT for GPS satellites, or there would be quite significant distance/ speed position errors.

Fair enough.

And GPS (and the others, including our very own Galileo) have to take into account that time runs faster in their orbits than it does down here.
