Sir: British Summer Time ended last year about seven weeks before the winter solstice. Why do we have to endure GMT until 28 March? If we must be subjected to it, why can't GMT end seven weeks after the solstice, at the end of next week? Daylight hours will be the same as they were when BST ended in the autumn.
