So the clocks went forward 1 hour yesterday here in the UK
Every time I wonder
WHY??
It's just another example of a system designed long ago that no longer makes any sense to most of us.
Did you know that the idea for this twice annual changing of the clocks came from a wealthy landowner and member of the house of Lords.
He liked to go for an early morning horse ride around his sprawling estate.
One morning in spring it occurred to him that since sunrise was earlier, it was light enough for his peasants to be working his fields
But they weren’t!
So he advanced the idea in Parliament of pushing time forward an hour
at this time of year so that he (and all his cronies) could get an extra hours labour from their workers.
It could always be pushed back again in winter when the days get shorter he argued.
Now that may have made sense (at least to the ruling classes) back in the day, but it’s nonsense
now
Most of those manual labouring jobs have gone
We can produce as much light as we need whenever we want it with the flick of a switch.
So much of the stuff we cling to is superannuated now. It was designed for
different times than we now live in
Designed for a system that works on rigid timescales (9-5, Mon-Fri, 40/40/40 rule)
But none of us need to adhere to that system anymore if we don’t want to.
