Rejected petition Keep GMT as UK time

More details

There's been a battle for years about GMT/BST, GMT is when the sun is highest in the sky, this is how time is co-ordinated, all international communications and travel are referenced to GMT, the line of longitude goes through greenwich, it makes sense that if we have a fixed timezone that it should be GMT
For those that want to have BST, it's simple, the times to start/end the day should change, this will avoid a lot of confusion about converting time.
