Why are Brits such special snowflakes?

>>67459844
It's more like Benelux, France and Spain got cucked by Germany into the Central European Time.

They live in the past.

You may say whatever you want,but all time zones are put according the British one.UTC

We invented the thing

>>67459844
We're in the right time zone. Spain is in an unnatural timezone because Franco wanted to appease Hitler and moved Spain 1 hour ahead, and never went back. Their finally realising it might be good to go back to normal now

Here is their big mistake on a chart

>“In Spain we eat at 2 p.m., and we don’t have dinner until 9 p.m., but according to the position of the sun, we eat at the same time as the rest of Europe: 1 p.m. and 8 p.m.”

>“If we eat at 2 p.m., and dine at 9 p.m., then logically we ought to start work at 10 a.m. But we don’t do that, we start earlier, so our mornings are far too long. That’s why people need a coffee break, because they can’t wait that long to eat. So we lose time in the morning and have to work even longer in the evening.”

>“In England, the largest TV audience is at 7 or 8 p.m., but in Spain, it’s 10 p.m… because at 8 p.m. in Spain, barely 50% of the population is at home.” says Ignacio Buqueras, president of the Association for the Rationalisation of Spanish Working Hours. “Some football matches don’t kick off until 11 p.m.!”

>As a result of the entire country operating on such a late schedule, Spaniards go to bed far later than they should. Which would be fine if they slept in, but as I mentioned earlier, they don’t.

>In fact, studies suggest that Spaniards sleep an hour less than the rest of Europe, which has all kinds of negative consequences, most notably lack of productivity and increased stress.

It makes no sense for the Western tip of Spain and the Eastern tip of Poland to have the same timezone.

That or Europe really is fucking tiny.

France should also use GMT.

France actually used GMT until WW2, as it is their natural timezone. But they couldn't resist Hitler's charms either.

>>67460978
It doesn't make sense, see my posts above. They shifted in order to convenience the Germans, to the detriment of themselves

Unless you go to "history" and open a "recently closed tab", that is

But it's the opposite. We didn't do anything and all the countries around us changed. How does that make us insecure?

We made the timezones you retard, the French and Spanish are snowflakes for not being on our time.

>>67464674
Snowflakes aren't capable of being butt-hurt, though.

Also, I think Spain was considering going back to GMT.

It actually makes sense for us to be at this time since we generally live life later in the evenings. No one does anything until at least 8 or so and it's good that it's still light then.

You live life later in the evenings because you're in the wrong timezone. You got cause and effect the wrong way round. What you think is Spanish culture only dates back to WW2

Spain should be UTC too, but Franco changed it to appease Hitler.

>>67459844
In fact, they were the first to set hour. Then french set another one at +1. And all of civilized Europe adopt the french hour.

Retarded post, we were indeed cucked into Central European Time by the Germans during WW II and didn't bother changing it after the war was over
