Well if we were operating on European time it's not that bad --- at
least at the moment, European business hours are roughly 5pm to
midnight, so no more wasting perfectly useful daylight hours in the
office! In these circumstances you'd probably want to live much closer
to work too, which would not only be good for the environment (much
less travelling) but giving the government the excuse to do things
which are off topic for this list.
