Description
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. British Summer
Time (BST) is the civil time during the summer months in the United
Kingdom during which the clocks are advanced from Greenwich Mean Time
(GMT) by one hour. The British Summer Time period begins on the last
Sunday of March and ends on the last Sunday of October. Though initially
popular after its introduction in 1916, the practice now divides
opinion.It was first established by the Summer Time Act of 1916, after a
campaign by builder William Willett. His original proposal was to move
the clocks forward by 80 minutes, in 20-minute weekly steps on Sunday in
April and by the reverse procedure in September. At this time BST began
on 21 May and ended on 1 October.
