You don’t see the benefit of the current situation where all of mainland western Europe (except for Portugal) are in the same timezone?
Splitting the continental blue banana right down the middle with a timezone difference: bad idea for the economy
ah it’s this time of the year again, when this ridiculous map gets shared
Ireland/UK
France/Switzerland
France/Germany
Netherlands/Germany
All these pairs of countries do an insane amount of business together and benefit more from aligned clocks than some supposed accuracy with the sun
Ireland’s population is mainly in the yellow zone, along with its only land border. Why would it bother going into the green zone?
Looks stupid
Putting the Netherlands in a seperate timezone from Germany seems like a terrible idea
Ireland should definitely be yellow so it’s the same at NI, and so should Portugal.
Like the last time this was posted, it does make sense for Portugal and Ireland to be UTC 0, especially Ireland, since their capital and largest city is actually in that Zone.
Absolute bollocks to put the majority of Ireland’s population, who live inside the western fringe of UTC±0 on this map, in another timezone, separating them from Northern Ireland to boot, probably violating the Good Friday agreement.
Also separating Portugal away is equally stupid. Just let it stay in its current time zone of UTC±0.
Otherwise yeah this makes sense, but would be better with +1 to each timezone for permanent summer time to balance out the fact that we are in the hellish far north and every moment of sunlight in winter not wasted sitting at work in the morning is a blessing.
The Netherlands is not gonna change time with Germany.
Rotterdam harbour and the Ruhr area are too interconnected for that.
Why’d you spell Moscow like that?
What happened to the greek islands
Why in gods green dick would Ireland and Portugal not want to be in the same time zone as the rest of Europe? It’s such a waste of time.
The Rhine as a time border?
Yeah, anyone living there will tell you that idea is idotic.
Proposed by whom?
People in Spain like sunny evenings. Weather is good for most of the year and we like to benefit from natural sunlight. So let’s keep the current situation, or at the very least stay at summer time.
Mum says it’s my turn to repost this terrible map that completely misses the point of time zones
Half of people working in Luxembourg live in Germany and commute daily. This would make their lives easier for sure!
Proposed by who?
Blue should include france and benelux. Ireland (probably portugal too, should be yellow) and then I’m in
Which dumbass thought it would be a good idea for mainland Greece to have a different timezone from its islands?
Ireland and the UK would never accept different time zones.
And how do they justify Crete and the rest of ghe greek islands being 1 hour difference from the mainland?
Two time zones for Ireland…. No thanks
+-0?
It makes no sense for Greece to be in UTC+1. Same for Ireland in UTC-1. Over 50% of the population of both countries live in the UTC +2 and UTC respectively.
Proposed by who? Makes 0 sense for Ireland and UK to be on different time zones
Timezones now have less to do with time itself and everything to do with trade.
No thanks. –Denmark.
Better to have UTC+2 giving with evening sun for outdoor activities instead of UTC+1 with 5 AM sunrise during summers.
The longer you look at it, the worse and illogical it gets
A 1+ or -1 hour change for most european countries to have the same timezone is extremely beneficial as it is now, this proposition would be horrendous in practice.
I would simply make a „continental“ timezone based on UTC+1 for all countries west of Russia (including the British isles & Mainland Portugal) and call it a day.
Damn that would suck for me. I live like 5 meter from the German border in the Netherlands…
lol, small countries like Ireland,Portugal and Greece with 2 different time zones…..total disaster for no reason!
We are now brothers! We don’t need the rest of you! 🇵🇹+🇨🇮
It’s probably just a mistake, but the Aegean islands being in a different timezone compared to the greek mainland doesn’t make much sense. In any case, I think Greece would be better off in the red zone.
Ireland is wrong. Western Ireland is less populated than the East.
