So a normal day would be(not exact numbers);
Both following examples are in the same time line, with the latter showing where people would be after switch.
Now;
Person is awake from 7am to 10pm, with 8am to 6pm of light.
After the switch;
PErson is awake from 8am to 11pm, with 9am to 7pm light.
Wouldn't the hour of "useless power use" just be moved?
Or is this campaign suggesting that brits keep moving clocks all around the year, once every month, and thus f*ck up their whole system towards the rest of the world?
Someone explain this thing to me because it seems like there's no point. There's a set amount of sunset in the day, no matter what you do with the clock and that time sun shines is (in regular work hours) always during waking period.
EDIT: Jsut talked about it and i have to ask, aren't you lot using daylights savings time? If not then this could be that and yes, time to get with the program
If you are using daylights saving, see above post.

Ah, thanks for the clarification.
Thing is though, and do correct me if i'm wrong, the amount of awake time won't change and if you remove dark time from your morning, you move it to later in the day.
The sunlight is constant afterall.

Well in the summer its light before we get up, usually 5am ish (i think) and starts getting dark at 9.30pm ish with a 2 hour change it would get light at 6am and dark at 10.30pm
There would be little need for lighting in the summer, it would keep the global warming nutcases happy and save a few quid in electricity.
Just found this for 2009
Sunrise and Sunset for U.K. – England – London – June 2009

Ah yeah, this means that they change the daylights saving more accordingly to the sun, instead of the conventional 1h. Now it makes more sense. Thanks.

Only problem is that that change tends to be biased towards the south (eg. London vs Aberdeen), I'd personally like to see it tried anyway. The annoying thing is that it only becomes an issue twice a year - whenever we change the clocks.
It would probably benefit the majority of the country. For those areas where it doesn't benefit them they should just get up an hour later during the winter when it's a problem.

Today we unleashed the awesome power of 10:10s mailing list. In short, the response has blown us away. In under 9 hours we’ve added a stonking 3,500 new supporters to the call for Lighter Evenings. Tuesday has also seen an incredible array of new organisations flying the flag from the RAC to Horticulture Weekly to the late night crowd over at the Dark Age of Camelot forum.
