What the petition asks
The clocks changing for British Summertime started 100 years ago. The UK did this when Germany started doing it, apparently it was to save coal. Farmers have lights on their tractors and lights in their cattle sheds so this only serves to cause a nuisance for most of us. Especially those with kids
