Should we scrap British Winter Time?

Should we scrap British Winter Time?

According to a new survey turning the clocks back each year causes Britain to use much more energy than would otherwise be needed, and vastly increases our costs and carbon emissions.
In light of this information do you think that the time has come for British Winter Time to be scrapped? Would you welcome an end to it, and would you prefer the extra hour of daylight in the evening? Have your say.

    hoffmeister from Surrey, despite having a name usually found on the can of a rather nice beer, your question deserves an answer. The answer is we Brits put up with our silly systems because we are usually too busy enjoying ourselves to stand around moaning..If this country is not the best on the planet why do you and millions of other foreign nationals want to live or work here

    Seems to me we should have left nature alone a long time ago. They kept BST for 3 yrs in 1968 but abandoned it. There is cost both changing the clocks forward and back, but the increase in accidents was actually changing 'to' BST not 'from' and was found to be from loss of sleep - so maybe the moral is to get more sleep and leave nature alone.
