Elvis Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Not long now before the clocks go back. Hate the thought of it going dark at 4pm, but once you get used to it, it’s not that bad. it's about time they abolished moving the clocks.

It's a pain in the arse , going to and coming from work in the dark is something I never can get used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted October 10, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted October 10, 2019 Here's a suggestion. Work slightly reduced hours in winter, and longer in summer. Used to be a practice in local government grounds maintenance. Made sense when individuals were focussed solely on parks etc, as it would become too dark. What do folk think?

In theory a good idea , but from a personal level I need more free hours in summer . I've got quite large Lawns and Borders plus my Veg plots so I kind of need more free hours in summer , and then there's midweek car meets , and the missus can't seem to stay in the fucking house and seems to want to drag me around too.but like i say with different circumstances a good idea.

All fair points. Just a question on world mental.health day. Whilst people are travelling to work or.for.it, and frequently office or factory based, then exposure to daylight is reduced. Perhaps a means by which folk could get outside for a walk or a bit of personal downtime in the shorter days would go some way to alleviating some of the issues. Not an easy fix for sure.

kent_white Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I instantly felt 50% more depressed when it went darker this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted October 10, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted October 10, 2019 Can’t stand winter. Dark until 8.30 am, dark again by 4pm. Cold, wet, windy. Shite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc505 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 This side of January I love it, afterwards not so much. Few things better than an afternoon walk in early winter, low sun, crisp blue sky, crunchy grass. After Christmas and New year though fucking hell kill me now.

Underpants Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) As a kid I loved the winter months. Now I'm older it's depressing getting up to darkness and the weather that accompanies it. I'm already counting down the days to spring. Funny enough I couldn't care less if its dark and -10 if I'm getting up to go to a match.

green genie Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Why don't you all go live in sandpit with Bolty? It's called the four seasons for a reason. We can't have green and pleasant land without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Don’t mind winter/darkness/etc at all. Just part of life. I really enjoy Spring when it starts getting lighter, weather improves and everything starts to look better. Guess it’s the shit winter months that make Spring and Summer so much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh white Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Had some great Springs recently, nice warm sunshine and not humid, Autumn is brill for the colours of the trees changing, but Winter can fuck right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
