Isn't the story today from the European Commission about wanting to stay on summer time, ie CEST, so it's daylight saving time all year round?
We'll see, sounds like this will need a lot more consultation, especially in northern European countries, but also beyond before a decision is taken.

They should first get rid of the stupid single time zone for most of the EU.

Tom | | | | | EU has 3 time zones, I think they work fine.
What's the issue?
FWIW, I also have no issue with DST, it's one more way of marking change of seasons.
If people hate it so much, let's all go to Zulu time and be done with it...

Long way off yet. They have to come up with some formal agreement and then it has to be ratified by all the EU countries.

What's the issue? | | | | | Most is a single time-zone, whereas it used to be three.
Swiss time is almost an hour off of true time, for example, as are many other countries in Europe.

None of the U.K. Territories are EU. Gibraltar is either in or out depending on who you are talking to.
And contrary to local belief Verbier is not part of the U.K.

But if we scrapped everything and banned everybody (except the poor soul who really does have the biggest thing to worry about) then where would we be?
Or did you have a point?
Perhaps you were trying to use banality as irony?

You mean like film, real film, not digital sensor to storage medium?
