In terms of alignment with the Greenwich meridian, France should be on the same time as us, not the other way round. And by that measure, Spain, Germany and Benelux should be as well.
Incidentally, it's not just Scotland that would suffer half a morning of darkness if we switched to permanent BST, a fair chunk of the north of England would suffer as well.
But you're right, if things were reversed we probably wouldn't care a fig about you soft southern jessies anyway.  |
Err, THIS 'southern jessie' is a WELSHMAN - with deep family roots in Anglesey. May not live there now but I can (just) see it on a clear day. Where the ** is Balamory? It is not listed in Autoroute!
