@eunews If only Portugal followed... After the time change it will be basically night when most people leave work, everyone I ever talked about it agrees but alas...

@davidadriao @eunews still remember the years that portugal was in the same timezone as Germany. It was so good that it lasted 3 years.
I know the proposal is related to daylight time savings, but in practice it was as if PT not applying dts during winter (same as keeping the summer time). In peak winter sunrise was at 9am, just in time for school/work to start!
