British Average Time

I was surprised to turn on the wireless to listen to The Archers this morning to find I'd missed half of it. I mentioned it to Wilson, and he said that might be something to do with him.

He explained, 'When I adjusted the clocks last night, I put them forward just half an hour. That way, we need never adjust them again! We keep all the clocks half an hour slow in the summer, and half an hour fast in the winter. I call it British Average Time! Brilliant or what?'

There is a certain logic there, but I think I shall find it very confusing.

He's in the garden now, raking moss out of the lawn.
