Does it matter ? , there will still be 24 hours in a day and 7 days a week

I'm intrigued to know why you think that those who travel abroad will be inconvenienced. Most travel abroad, especially by plane, generally results in a time difference - it's no big deal.

Well yes it would and it depends what you want, it would get dark 1 hour earlier in the evenings so in summer without BST and it would be dark by 8-ish pm or earlier so not so good for sitting outside your outfit having a BBQ and drink in July/August. In winter if you kept BST it would not get light till 9am so kids going to school in the dark.

Personally if we had have one or the other I would prefer BST, or as Mikey says even DST, to make the most of the evenings. 

Lighter morning don't bother me now as I never notice what time the sun comes up in winter as I'm asleep.

This being a forum for Touring I was naturally referring to those of us who travel by ferry or train. Haven't figured out yet how to get the caravan on a plane. 

If no-one is inconvenienced then great. No big deal.

Mm, we sit outside wether it’s dark or not having a bbq or drink , didn’t know you had to go in when it’s dark .

 

are kids scared of walking in the dark ? , I wasn’t.

It's normally warmer sat in sunshine than in moonshine.

Even those who travel by ferry will always find that France is ahead of us!
