Summer observing still on then woohoo

[Beulah]

Good stuff. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

[AndyH]

Good show !!

[Mikea]

Good news! A barmy idea in the first place.

[yeti monster]

H.M. Govt. back pedalling? Never...

[Tddun]

Woo Hoo!

It was never going to happen anyway , it would of needed the Irish and more importantly the Scottish assemblies to ratify it.

Zacktly. It was dead from the start.

I'm glad, it's a huge waste of money and effort

Not to mention staying up even later around the summer months to get any chance of darkness

[Glasspusher]

This beast keeps raising it's ugly head......let's hope we have seen the back of it for good.

I am glad this idea never got off the ground, like most of the half-baked plans being given off by the coalition

For the next 10 years anyway

Then some bright spark will have a brain wave.

The concept would have never gotten off the ground as too many of the public were against it (and gov knew this).

But either way i'm glad it's been scrapped, next step get rid of daylight saving.

Good news...

[Vega]

Phew! Thank-goodness... its hard enough as it is in the summer getting some sleep on work nights (when its cloudy of course lol)

[Shibby]

Good; what a pointless idea it was. Imagine Greenwich not being on Greenwich mean time!

[MarySkater]

next step get rid of daylight saving./QUOTE]

Absolutely! I hate this twice-a-year clock change. If people want more useable daylight, what's wrong with getting up earlier? Playing games with the clock doesn't make the day any longer.

[bigglesdad]

Result!

[AlexB]

next step get rid of daylight saving.

Get's my thumbs up. Over complication of time zones is not what we need in an ever increasingly complicated world!! (oh and the benefit of dark skies earlier in summer )

[junior]

As previously mentioned

If it isnt broken

Dont try and fix it

[Bizibilder]

Good.

[Photosbykev]

I think that most governments secretly release this type of major change into the public domain and wait to see what reaction the public gives. If the public shout it down they quietly bin it or say it was only under consideration to avoid losing too many votes.

They have zero interest in the public opinion only in the effect anything they do will have on votes.

[Egor Blimey]

Looks like I'm in a minority of one then. Astronomy isn't my only outdoor interest, and it would be nice if there were several more weeks in the year when there was time do something after work.

[Gerontius]

Yippee

[Tantalus]

It's Good News Week...
