Contrary to popular belief changing the time on clocks does not alter the amount of daylight in summer.
If you want to do things earlier than you normally do, then may I suggest you do things earlier, not move your clock. Are trains late or is it the wrong type of clock?
In an increasingly connected world then having an agreed standard time is required. But why then change that standard twice a year. They wouldn't change how much a kilogram weighs twice a year would they (I probably shouldn't give them ideas!) . What if they did it for colours. ROYGBIV=>OYGBIVR. Are football supporters meant to start singing "come on you oranges". Would supermarkets have to relabel there fruits yellows? so why time?
I'll tell you why. govt just likes to tell everyone what to do. Basically they are telling everyone to get up an hour earlier just so they can watch all their subordinates obey.
I WILL NOT CHANGE MY CLOCKS. GMT FOREVER.

So, when being invited to the pub will you be converting the invited time from BST to GMT or will you be turning up an hour late through the "summer"?
Totally agree with your post though. I never understood where farmers came into the whole argument either since they virtually live outside time in their own little worlds.
There is a possibility of misunderstandings if time zone is not quoted. I'm going to take the view that when in doubt time quoted is BST. Downside if I'm wrong I'm in the pub for an extra hour. Otherwise I would lose an hour as you stated.
