England Briefing On TV at 5pm and Commons Statement this Evening

[Guy Etchells]

Scotland, for example, would be in the dark for much longer periods of time.

Umm - they would be in the dark for the same length of time - just at a different time. I lived in the far NW and the sun rose at about 9.30 am and set at about 3.30 pm ish.  If we kept daylight saving, it would rise at 10.30am and set at 4.30 -same length of darkness, just at a  different time.

Only if the weather was the same each day, if one day had clear skies it would be lighter longer than a cloudy rainy day.
It is quite surprising how much rain clouds can effect light levels.

Curtains closed and lights on at 4.30p.m. GMT yesterday. Last week my lighting-up time was 6.30/7p.m. BST; I worked in the SW facing back garden until dusk on 2 bright, cold days. Flowers on evening primrose in SE position in front garden have been open continuously for 3 days, so according to Evening Primrose Time we are nearly 72 hours into evening and may have another 96 or more hours to go. We were on Daisy Time last week.

I'm not quite sure why we got on to sun times, etc.

However, this is an interesting site. I have used where I live:

England PM to brief the country at 5pm Today.

Some are saying 4pm, so whether a Scientific Briefing is to precede the PM or go along with the 5pm Briefing, I'm not sure.

England -v- Italy rugby has been taking my interst this afternoon.

If the PM announces anything new in my opinion he should be announcing that anyone found actively ignoring the health regulations, not only will their names, etc be taken, but their place of work will be taken and their employers notified.

I'm retired, but I would definitely be sacking any of my workers who by their deliberate actions endangered the lives of others.

Only people with money can afford to go out partying and drinking, which in the main I would guess would be town hall and other workers paid by the taxpayer plus those who work in the food industry.
