One of the most depressing things about all this is that many people have been taken in by John Butterfill's `(Extra Daylight)' and somehow think that politicians can conjure the stuff out of thin air. And they have obviously forgotten what a disaster it was when it was tried in the early '70's. It might not have been so bad down in London but up near the Scottish border it was really stupid. I still have my reflective vest (issued to school children who were forced to go to school in the dark), maybe I should send it to John Butterfill as a reminder :-) Mark.
