Off-topic, but: "Geezer" means "elderly man" in AmE, while it just means "guy" in BrE. It used to be more common to hear it in the UK.

“Ice cream freezer” being the cockney version

I realised this year that all the arguments I'd ever heard for shifting the hour (lighter mornings in winter help kids get to school alive and help farmers work) were arguments for GMT itself, not for BST.
So why don't we just have GMT year-round? It's kinda fun to have sunset at 2130 in June but is it really so important?
