The problem with the safety aspect is that no-one really knows. [/quote]
Couldn't have said it better myself

The point which most people have ignored in this as well is that clocks would still go forward and back in spring in autumn, so we would still have the issue of having to get up an hour early in the spring (
which is most people's bugbear!).[/quote]
Really?...most people I speak to hate it when the clocks go back and much prefer the extra daylight hours in the evening. Personally I am enjoying the fact that I get home from work in the light at this time of year

Personally I couldn't care less what time the English have but you should not be able to force an unwanted solution on the North. Perhaps it is time for the English to have independence.
P.S. it's not just Scotland; N.Ireland has the same problem.[/quote]
Bring it on, I would happily go for that, although I am still not convinced it's an "unwanted solution". I think (again, IMO) that if it were to be put to a national vote whether we fix to GMT or BST that BST would get the vote, although we would have to wait and see.
