The sun would rise at around 5pm in mid-winter Britain, and set at around midnight, creating ample time for outdoor leisure, sport – even going to the beach.'</p> <p>He added, 'let's face it - one hour isn't going to do it for our legions of lard-arses.'</p> <p>Opponents, however, raise the issue of road safety, and that people getting up at what is now midnight, but will be renamed '8 in the morning', may be less alert at the wheel, leading to an increase in traffic accidents. They also point out that the first few days after the proposed change are 'going to be absolute killers', with people getting 8 hours less in bed.</p> <p>Meanwhile, Jeff Horn, a spokesperson for a coalition of groups representing the fat and lazy communities, has commented that 'no amount of mucking about with the clocks is going to convince us to get off the sofa. Because you know what? It's <em>always</em> pizza and beer time.' </p>
