    The US has passed the first stage of the legislation to bring this in in 2023 so I suspect that it's now just a mattter of time for us; given that most western governments seem to copy each others' homework theses days (Covid lockdowns, electric cars, banning fracking, money printing, ultra low interest rates).

     

    WASHINGTON, March 15 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate on Tuesday passed legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent starting in 2023, ending the twice-annual changing of clocks in a move promoted by supporters advocating brighter afternoons and more economic activity.

    The Senate approved the measure, called the Sunshine Protection Act, unanimously by voice vote. The House of Representatives, which has held a committee hearing on the matter, must still pass the bill before it can go to President Joe Biden to sign.

    it makes sense in terms of health (kids can play out when home from school) and money saving for all even if its a small saving 1 hours per day lighting and heating for coldest months lets say 100 days/hours will add up to a large saving for many with current crazy prices, very cheep to implement too i would imagine .  im not saying that this is the answer to the current crisis and the government need to do a LOT more but it would save millions in money.

    for me the biggest takeaway from the tournament is changing views and attitudes on women's football, mine included, i think its come a huge way in a relatively short time and there was some genuine quality in England's attacking play which i haven't seen before this tournament. there were lots of young girls watching in the record crowd who will be keen to emulate what they have seen which can only be good for the future of the women's game.
