Click the Profile option at the very top of the page. In your profile page, click the Modify Profile option. Scroll down the long list of options until you reach "Currently Observing DST?" and toggle that to No. |

Possibly because UKIP were very close in the GBC ward byelection here last year and having a late December election will scupper our chances a bit? |

Perhaps it was UKIP . |
