Today (fairly near Greenwich) we are back on sensible time, with solar noon at clock noon near enough.

  As it should be. If people want more light in certain time of day, let's do it by moving schedules. It is not actually that big of an deal.

    Isn't this, in effect, what daylight saving time is? Moving all schedules 1h forward/backward 2x per year?

      Except that sunset/sunrise shift by four hours in the UK, so the 1h messing around makes virtually no difference anyway, for the trouble that it causes,

    You are describing daylight saving time. I think it is nice to put an extra hour of sun in the evening. Most people don't get up at like 5am to get the first hour of sunlight. As the day gets shorter you'd be better off putting it in the middle of the day to keep the morning lit up.

    Honestly, I have never particularly enjoyed that it gets light here at 4AM in the summer, with the false damn beginning nearly ann hour earlier, even with DST: we certainly don’t need it getting light any earlier. During the summer it has already been light for hours before I actually need to rise even with DST. To me this decades of scientific investigation seems to have come up with a conclusion that may well only make sense within a narrower range of latitudes rather than being some sort of universal truth. Also, it’s in the winter that it’s dark when I rise and leave the house, which apparently is a problem I should worry about in summer according to this piece. It reads pretty nonsensically to me.
