No reason for us to face the winter gloom

IN a few short weeks we are again to be plunged onto gloom.

This time it won’t be the economy or the banks. It will be something our government can control without any excuses.

I refer, of course, to “winter time”. It is possibly the most stupid of the many stupid things we do as a nation. The benefits of retaining “summer time” all year round would be huge.
