Who's for it and who against ?
My choice would be to leave them on BST all year, every time they change it knackers me up for a fortnight

Yep, me too says let the BST go. Its a right pita trying to work out what time it is in other countries. I regularly have to call the USA on both coasts and in Texas, so it fekks me up big style all year round.

GMT all the way, easy peasy lemon squeezey lol

How does that work over there? Do you guys do "day light savings time"? We still do here....And Bush extended it on a energy bill. In a few weeks, the clocks change, and I will be going to work in the dark, and coming home in the dark. It's rather depressing.

Twists my Mellon they only brought it in because of the Second World War so farmers could sort there stuff out in day light,so why not change it for good it surely cannot be doing us any good

I think BST was on the go before the last war, and I believe (I'm not that old!!!) that during the second world war we had double BST so that even in the South of England it was still light late into the evening.
As one of the people supposedly disadvantaged by the dark mornings we would have up here in winter if we stayed on BST all year round, I'm not really fussed - there are only a certain amount of daylight hours in winter, whether you call it 7am - 3pm or 8am -4pm, you'll be going to work and coming home in the dark.
Bear in mind that the most of Europe still changes their clocks and at least we all now change on the same date (a total nightmare before that) and that even Russia which had eleven time zones and tried to cut that to nine has abandoned that idea because of complaints from people in their far East.
I have no doubt that had the referendum gone to the YES lot, we would be on "Independent Scotland Time"
which would have nothing to do with the position of the sun in the sky and more to do with when the pubs open and close!
