British Summertime ends this weekend with clocks due to go back an hour creating an extra hour of daylight in the morning but longer, darker evenings. However, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents has suggested the introduction of Single/Double Summertime in a bid to reduce road accidents.
Under this system, clocks would no longer return to Greenwich Mean Time in October but would remain one hour ahead until March, when another hour would be added.
Personally I think this system has worked well for decades. If it ain't broke, why change it? Most of the Northern Hemisphere changes clocks summer/winter. We stayed on BST for a while some years ago but nobody liked it.
