Malt 379 Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 They're on about bringing our clocks into line with Central European Time (CET), which is GMT + 2. This will give us lighter evenings throughout the whole year. My main worry with it is what happens with the millions of kids walking to school in the pitch black winter mornings? ,,and of course there's the fact that we'd loose the early nightfall that most of us enjoy in the winters.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12517762 Do kids still walk to school? They do round here and in other rural areas. We don't all live in towns & cities.. Yeah but you do jump to conclusions..... Closest school to me is roughly 7 miles away...closest house 1/2 mile, that rural enough for you? Now who's jumping to conclusions? I never said you didn't live in a rural area, did I? 7 miles is a bit far to walk anyway, don't you think? You did say children walk in rural areas, just pointing out I'm in a rural area and the kids around here have a bus that practically picks them up at the door. So it isn't just townies that have their kids driven to school.... all this because I asked if children still walk to school lol....nevermind... Apology time fella, I should stay away from the PC when the kids are going mental here and I'm in need of a dose of my nicotine replacement therapy! Sorry.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
