Clocks go forward Sunday March 31st

I mention this because I found an interesting website, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] lapis_lazuli:

If we adopted the "Double Summer Time" proposal, by which the clocks are set to GMT+1 in winter and GMT+2 in summer, then we'd effectively be in the same timezone as the rest of the EU...

Double summer time? If it's that important, why can't we just start work at eight instead? It's like making inches shorter because people aren't tall enough.

Better still, octuple summer time! Then we could be on the same time zone as Japan.

Yes! If we make it complicated enough, then everyone would be so confused that we wouldn't have to go to work at all.

Did I mention that my employers are currently looking for a mission statement?
