Rejected petition Keep the same timing throughout the year

Keep the same timing throughout the year

More details

Would like to ask the British Government to keep the GMT. Greenwich Mean Time throughout the year. We do not want the clock to change at the end of March. Please keep the winter timing.
This was quite crucial when Britain used to have a mining industry and other forms of industry that needed long working hours. However, the situation is quite different nowadays, as one hour of sleeping time is taken away from children. Children will find it much more challenging to fall asleep until dark and it turns dark at 10:00 pm therefore they will be tired waking up early and sleeping late, also difficult for Muslim to fast when Ramadan the holy month in summer time, that would give extra 2 hours eating for them.
