SIR – Plans to move Britain on to Central European time, which would mean moving the UK’s clocks forward an hour all year round, have been vetoed by the Scots because they claim it would mean that dawn wouldn’t break in Scotland until nearly 9am.
However, the move would please the watchmaker who, it was reported in the Telegraph & Argus a while ago, never put his clocks forward at the beginning of summertime, as he would only have to put them back in October and that would take him all day.
And in days gone by, the landlord of a certain pub would never have found himself in front of the magistrates having opened his pub one hour too early because he forgot to put his clocks back the night before.
They didn’t give him ‘time’, but he got a ‘ticking off’.
