SIR – We are now approaching the Spring forward/Fall back fiasco and I am yet to meet anyone who favours it.

The disruption of our body clocks and the cost to the NHS of injuries sustained by elderly people climbing to alter wall clocks must outweigh any supposed benefits.

No doubt by now the immutable bi-annual change requirement is enshrined within EU jurisdiction.

It would therefore serve UKIP well in the electoral stakes should they make it their policy to permanently return to the British institution of Greenwich Mean Time.
