Don't know the official times but here in the Midlands it is about
0730 and 1600. I think Scotland gets an hour or two less daylight,
which is why the experiment of keeping to Summer Time all year round
was abandoned. I understand some people in Scotland claimed that
there was an increase in accidents involving children in the
mornings, which seems fair enough, but less so if the counter-claim
that they were more than outweighed by the reductions in accidents to
children in the evenings is equally true.
BTW, Autumn 1996 saw the whole of Europe change its clocks on the
same day for the first time, after 17 years on negotiations. Now
France has announced that they are to remain on Summer Time all year
round. It was France that introduced changing the clocks in the
first place.
I was surprised to discover that the USA changes its clocks, why?
Its northern border is further south than the southern border of
England, which has no need for daylight reasons.
