That makes no sense. The clocks change in the summer, not the winter, and in summer Scotland sees about 20 hours of sunlight.

- gizmo385 8y agoClocks change twice a year, not once a year.
- another-cuppa 8y agoHuh? How could they change once a year? The point is winter time is GMT and summer time is the change. The UK did remain on BST once, but that was during the war (interestingly it also went to double summer time in the summer).
- IshKebab 8y agoHe means the clocks are offset in the summer and not the winter. If we stop changing the clocks and just stick on GMT all year it won't affect anything in winter.
- gtspotscom 8y agoTechnically correct. But it's more like "clocks change once a year and then that change is reverted"
- arankine 8y agoWe had 4 hours of night in the highlands and that was hard to sleep through.
- matthewmacleod 8y agoSure, but in the case I was talking about the UK switched to BST (i.e. GMT+1) year-round. This has the effect of making it darker on winter mornings.
