I remember my mum explaining that during the war they had double summer time (clocks forward 2 hours). She was right, but her explanation that it produced more daylight made us all giggle. She could not be persuaded that it was impossible to create extra daylight and that you just moved it around.

Donny - Sorry you hadn't had time to read the thread.
The Sixties bit wasn't "double summer-time" - that was during the war!! What you are referring to is described below.
"Then, in 1968, a three-year experiment was conducted with British Standard Time, keeping the clocks fixed throughout the year on GMT+1. However, the dark winter mornings were unpopular, particularly in Scotland. In 1971, MPs voted to return to the system that endures today".
