We hate the clocks changing twice a year

Mum says:

"Another Monday morning, which is the day of the week that's always a particular struggle to get the kids up and dressed and out of the door in time to school. But it doesn't help with the kids still reeling from their natural body clock rhythms being put out of sorts by the clock change a few weeks ago.

Several weeks on from the clock going back one hour, and we're still not all fully adjusted in our household.

As for me, by far the worst adjuster in our family, it seems my body rhythms only just get properly used to the hour change when it's time for them to get them all messed up again when the clocks change in six months time.

Natural body rhythms are given for a purpose, and in my view, it's foolish to mess with them, whatever the excuse given or the history behind it.

I detest the clocks being changed with a passion. And I'm not even counting in the darker evenings, another hateful by-product of this unnecessary 'evil', which makes the winter draw in even more quickly and feel even more dismal for us all.

The hour change is horrible. And it's so unneeded in this day and age. The sooner the government move to abolish the clock change, the better. I reckon it would be one of the most popular things the government has done for a very long time."

Here! Here! Couldn't agree more with your post of 10.10, or was it 9.10 or was it 11.10? What a load of nonsense.
