So no one remembers 1970

Yoo are going senile, but saying that I can't remember anything happening with the clocks in 1968 and 69, but in 1970 for personal reasons, because we were moving, it proved to be a godsend for me

"The British Standard Time Experiment

From 1968 to 1971 Britain experimented with keeping BST or GMT+1 all year round. It was dubbed British Standard Time. The motive was to help British industry work more closely with Europe. The experiment failed because the United Kingdom reaches high latitudes and people in the northern parts were deprived of light for most of the morning in the short winter days.

From 1972, it was decided to revert to keeping GMT in winter and BST in summer"
