This is a tradition which was implemented to allow farmers to get an extra hour of working light, before the clocks change, you could be sleeping through some of the light. Put the clock forward and you get up during the light so you can get more work done in the fields.
its was for more daylight for the Scottish farmers in the morning
It's argued that changing the clock gives us more sunlight. Yes it does, just like cutting off your head and standing on it makes you taller. It's just a way to trick everyone into waking up an hour earlier.
The idea of daylight saving was first conceived by Benjamin Franklin
(portrait at right) during his sojourn as an American delegate in
Paris in 1784, in an essay, "An Economical Project."
Some of Franklin's friends, inventors of a new kind of oil lamp, were
so taken by the scheme that they continued corresponding with Franklin
even after he returned to America.
The idea was first advocated seriously by London builder William Will
ett (1857-1915) in the pamphlet, "Waste of Daylight" (1907), that
proposed advancing clocks 20 minutes on each of four Sundays in April
, and retarding them by the same amount on four Sundays in September
As he was taking an early morning a ride through Petts Wood, near
Croydon, Willett was struck by the fact that the blinds of nearby
houses were closed, even though the sun was fully risen. When
questioned as to why he didn't simply get up an hour earlier,
Willett replied with typical British humor, "What?" In his pamphlet
"The Waste of Daylight" he wrote:
"Everyone appreciates the long, light evenings. Everyone laments
their shortage as Autumn approaches; and everyone has given utterance
to regret that the clear, bright light of an early morning during
Spring and Summer months is so seldom seen or used."
Wikipaedia tells me that Daylight Saving Time actually started during WW1 (1916) not WW2 and then it was the Germans who were first to adopt it, then the British and French did it soon afterward (though I don't suppose it made any difference to the "attack at dawn" command when it came. Presumably it was done with the same purpose as the tightening of the alcohol licencing laws - to boost the production of munitions and agricultural workers rather than anything else!
I have no idea. Maybe you can let me know when you get the answer
no clock works forever
No idea mate.

Interesting method.
It's basically to ensure that people living in the north, especially Scotland don't have to feel that they are living a nocturnal life. This is especially true for agricultural workers. Numerous countries now do this and it has been developed to now provide people with the optimum working day relative to the natural light that is available. Or that's what I have been led to believe anyway.
