At least then midday on the clock is midday (withing 10 mins or so)
of daylight.

It makes working 9-5 a bit silly though.

BST and stick with it?

I can never get my head around what that means in relation to when it
gets light dark relative to the clock... B-).

DBST and stick with it?

It didn't work in the 68 - '71 trial, what has chnaged that means it
will work now? The prime reason put forward for this is "lighter
evenings". But the root cause is that the working day is offset
relative to actual daylight. If "they" want to fiddle with things
move the working day to be in sync with or earlier than daylight.
That is work 8 - 4 or 7 - 3, Oh does that mean you have to get up and
go to work in the dark? So fing what, that is what DBST or similar
will make the northern half of the country do.

Carry on as it is now?

This has my vote, followed by stick to GMT.

Giving you daylight at around 4am and dark by 8pm in summer.
