Except I wouldn't shift the clocks, rather the working day.To gain the sunlight at the end of the day, which most seem to agree is most useful, I would just shift the working day. So make that we start work at 7am and finish at 3pm. Assuing your working day is currently 9-5. Obviously other types of day shifts should move accordingly.
That is no different than changing the clocks. Your body would still have to adjust to a time change.

There is a point here both ways, yes, its essentially the same as changing the clocks. But if there were something along the lines of shifting say 10 minutes each week over 6 weeks.... hmmmm... nope that would really confuse things as you wouldnt know what time stores are going to open etc. No easy solution. To me is it really not a big deal hat to change the clocks two times a year.
On the safety issue, yes it is an issue at least here. We have hundreds of kids walking and riding to the nearby high school, jr high, and elementary schools each day, and kids have been (and two I know of that some creep tried to lure into a car). The ones I know of have been early or on dark cloudy/ rainy days.
The argument about children's' safety was largely discredited by a three year trial of continuous daylight saving time in the UK some 30 years ago (or more).
When the road accident figures were analysed it was found that the small increase in accidents to children in the morning was more than compensated for by a larger decrease in the afternoon when they came out of school.

I will prefer it to stay BST all year as this will give me more time to do jobs in the garden in the evenings longer than when the clocks go back to GMT for the winter.
On children safety in the mainland EU they are all an hour ahead of the UK so the children have to go to school in the dark far more of the year than we do in the UK so I can't see a problem with this.

I started on making the time transition yesterday when I got off work. I reset the clock in my truck before I left the parking lot, then reset all the clocks in the house when I got home. Doing it this way gives me time to adjust over the weekend when I am on no set time schedule. By Sunday evening I will have already adapted to it and Monday I will be fine while everyone else is dragging around complaining about having made the time change Saturday night. I have been doing this for about the last 10 years and it REALLY DOES make a difference in being able to cope with it the following week.
I don't get what the big deal is! It's only one hour.I personally never wear a watch and rarely set an alarm for work. I naturally wake up early enough no matter what my schedule is.I personally like extra time in the evening rather than in the morning.I enjoy my evening outdoor nude time more than my morning outdoor nude time with the transition to twilight and cocktail hour.If I want more nude coffee time in the morning, I just go to bed earlier,It's all relative or irrelevant, depending on how you look at it...... except for that "running over school kids" part!
I agree completely Lee!
Seems like a lot of expended energy for a whole hour. ;D
I look forward to day light savings time from the day we go off of it in the fall. I do work 5 days a week day shift. So for me time in the morning is very limited and usually cold since its winter and not nudist friendly. Lol. I really enjoy the extra hour in the evening when the day has had a chance to warm up I get off work and can relax with coffee, tea, or adult beverage of my choice. The advantages of morning vs evening, evening wins hands down or should I say clothes down. Enjoy life nude my friends. Just my take. Fun topic Lee!

Florida passed a bill that would make daylight savings time permanent. It hasn't gone through the Florida congress yet so not in effect. If it was to pass then Florida would be out of sync with the Eastern Standard Time for half of the year. Sure would make it confusing for travelers.
I love the mornings and so more light in the morning makes my day. There is something special about being up before dawn and getting things done in my view. I think the need for changing the clocks in America has passed but its probably a good idea and helps makes the summer what it is at last here in the Midwest.

This would suggest that time should be kept to true time / winter time.
