Rejected petition The UK should change to Central Europan Time, with GMT+1 in winter and GMT +2 in summer, giving more evening daylight all year round

More details

The UK should adopt Central European Time. This is used by most central and western European countries except for Ireland and Portugal. It would increase tourism and give greater opportunity for leisure activities; help to reduce road accidents, and cut energy consumption, as well as making business sense to be on the same time zone as our majour trading partners.
