[tz] EP vote on EU DST; afternoon gloom in Scotland

[Paul Eggert]

On Thursday, the European Parliament voted 384-152 to pass a nonbinding 
resolution calling for the European Commission to re-evaluate the current system 
of daylight saving time in Europe. An article about this and how it's entangled 
with European politics can be found here:

York Times. 2018-02-09.

My favorite quote is about the UK Daylight Saving Bill 2010-12. Yeginsu writes: 
"That bill was met with fierce resistance in places like Scotland, where 
residents argued that they liked the afternoon gloom just fine."
