SUNNY DISPOSITION: With reference to Bring Me Sunshine (News Shopper, front page, December 21) Greenwich Mean Time plus one hour was tried back in the 70s and it was awful. In the winter you got up and went to work in the pitch black then went home in the pitch black. You cannot make' daylight. If you make evenings lighter you make mornings darker. GMT plus two hours simply means that we won't have those glorious, bright early summer mornings. And what's the point of Greenwich Mean Time if Greenwich doesn't recognise it?

NOT THE DARK AGES: What a wonderful suggestion more light than dark. I've been hoping and praying for this for years. The mere thought of putting the clocks back is so depressing, especially for the likes of me on my own and many more. Do it and do it now you'll find the doctors' surgeries a lot emptier. Light and laughter is a good tonic.
