Yes we do and I switched before I went to bed and so that I would wake up at the right time.

@TheHorse Here we can't go by the sun as at times is does not make an appearance for days. I had things to do but we had a snowstorm during the night and everything got cancelled and we were encouraged to stay home.

Yes, in all the EU, but it may disappear in 2020, there was an EU poll last month about it. The main discussion now is will we stay to Summer or Winter time, and depending of the country, it seems that people have different opinions, preferring Winter time in Northern Europe and Summer time in Southern Europe

And now that Britain is about to leave the EU, we shall probably have to KEEP the annual change-ringing - except for Northern Ireland, of course, who will put their clocks back in the Spring and forward in the Autumn!

UK is on the same longitude than France, but your Summer time is our Winter time, can we call that "sovereignty"

I don't really care one way or another. I did enjoy the long Summer evenings when I wa a kid. But I'm too old not for playing four-square with "the kids on the block."

When I was a child, this was available here. Later it seemed this project made people to feel confused and it didn't work well and actually it was not so useful in the south. So we don't have this project any more.
