Sir, – So the transition to the darkness is irreversible this weekend, with the clocks changing and the annual debate on whether to stay on summertime continues.
A consideration surely for keeping summertime is that children are constantly recommended to get an hour of exercise a day. However, once the clocks change they will have an hour less daylight after school to get that exercise!
Russia abandoned the clock change last year, we should finally do the same. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Isn’t about time that all this nonsense about the clocks going forward and back went the way of the dog permit and the black-and-white television licence. Seriously, who needs it? – Yours, etc,
