We have DST and every so often Parliament debates moving forward to GMT+1 and "Double summer time" . France I know has DST (though confusingly I don't think they change at the same time as us). I have a friend whe maintains the whole problem in the UK could be resolved buy merely extending Summer time for all but December and January... but he is a card carrying eccentric (even by my standards) so I don't know if he is right or just a bit crazy....

However when I went around America by train after I graduated I lost track of time on the long haul legs - I went from Seattle to New York with only a very short break in transit in and 3 overnights on the train. I had a watch with dual time so I always knew what time it was at home but for where I was I wasn't confident withing 2 hours...
