Pls could someone explain in simple terms why we have daylight saving time and how it works? 20% 1 Vote

Well its so that we get extra time of daylight, hence daylight savings. I.e. when the clocks go back so its seven instead of eight it means when you get up for work it will be light sooner in winter, rather than having to work in the dark for a few hours. 0% 0 Votes

It%26#039;s a leftover from WWI. In order to have more daylight for farming the Government invented Daylight Saving Time. By moving the clock backwards and forward in Autumn and Spring you create another hour of daylight. In the Army we used to go to Zulu time on exercises, this could be 3 or 4 hours different to GMT. 0% 0 Votes

Originally it was to give farmers more daylight hours especially Scottish farmers. 0% 0 Votes
