Can we just get rid of Daylight savings time alreadyOh sure, and get rid of all those hard working high paying resident timekeeper jobs? You sir are heartless!

When I was a very young child, my father read a book to me and my brother called “Windsor Castle” by William Harrison Ainsworth that I re-read as an adult. It is a good and exciting read. I never forgot Herne the Hunter, a good Halloween spook.

I don’t care if it’s Daylight Saving Time or Standard - I just hate switching back and forth. Pick one or the other and stick with it.

+1. Id rather have the daylight at the end of the day.

You sir are heartless! Exactly. What's going to happen next time you're in Windsor Palace and you need to know whether it's time to sit down to tea with Her Majesty? You'll be late, that's what! Or early. Depending on whether it's spring or autumn.

I was banned from Windsor Palace for making the Queen’s Guard laugh on the job.

And I’ll bet he was wearing a wristwatch, too. WITH THE WRONG TIME ON IT!!
...royal staff have spent hours turning back the 1,500 timepieces inside Her Majesty’s official residences.
See, that's just inherently funny -- a monarchy in the 21st century...

How about we just move the clocks 1/2 hour and call it good.

There is, just wait until they start beeping at you in the middle of the night. <;-)
