Europe is ticking closer to stopping the clocks.

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker announced today that he'll bring forward proposals to scrap daylight saving time (DLT) across the EU.

A public consultation showed 84 per cent of people were in favour of ending the biannual clock changes.

DST is the practice of setting the clocks forward 1 hour from standard time during the spring months, and back again in the autumn, in order to make better use of natural daylight.

However, we'll have to wait awhile for the change to come in.

It's expected DLT will be discarded by spring 2021.
