Technically the British 1972 Act is STILL in force in the U.K. but some quite separate small print has been exploited which I chose not to mention :-) This says: The duration of Summer Time can be varied by Order in Council In recent years this has duly happened to bring the U.K. more in line with the procedures in other E.U. countries. I suppose the Queen has to sign this Order each year! This doesn't make me any happier! I want sundials on the Greenwich meridian to average around GMT. There are, of course, many sundials with 1 at the bottom (or at the north point) rather than 12 but such numbering doesn't look right to me. I will accept that this is largely a matter of taste.
