How! Because from October to March every year darkness will fall an hour sooner than it would have if BST was retained. Given that the majority of people are more active in the afternoons and evenings, that makes hour of useful daylight. That's how.
Eh?Do you think that if we're on Summer time then we'll have Summer weather too? It'll still be cold, dark, wet & miserable regardless of the clock, it's Winter!
So for that extra hour of dingy light in the afternoon which few will
What do you think folk will do with their extra hour of light in the evening, wash the car? Have a BBQ? Mow the lawn? Sit out in a Beer garden? A nice walk in the park?

Anyway the days are slowly getting longer now and I expect we will have the same old arguments again around the 27th of March. When most people will have an hour less in bed but I will knock off an hour early from night shift.
