“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

Not really a concern for me at present. We're currently on GMT. We'll change to BST (British Summertime) fairly soon - not quite sure when.
There will be those who say that changing is a waste ... just as they do when we go to GMT. Makes absolutely no difference to what ACTUALLY happens, though.
It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!
I went on a cadet cruise on a 378 back in the day, went to England, Germany and Denmark
During the passage we seemed to cross the "lose and hour" times during the mid-watch.
And if we gained time, it seemed to be during the normal work day
The Captain noted this also when he sent his report in, expounding on how he saved the Coast Guard "X" many man hours
Every day I beat my previous record of consecutive days I've stayed alive.
