The yorkshire farmers Hated it and called it Idiot Time! The DST, they called Government Time. The Cows couldn't reset their internal clocks after it anyway; so everybody had to go up two hours earlier after the clock to feed and milk them. I, personally, Like it because it gives me one more hour of light after i close up my shop to do some fishing or carpentry(Or, read books and drink beer in the light from the setting sun).

We should stay with GMT all year round - would save a lot of effort and confusion. My Mac, laptop and PDA all updated themselves but I had to update my watch (twice, because it's got separate analogue and digital bits), my mobile phone and my two alarm clocks.
