william williet was an outdoorsmen. he would get up every morning and go for a horseback ride before breakfast. apparently, on one of these rides, he was bothered by the fact that everyone else in london was asleep, while he was enjoying the sunrise on the back of his horse. his frustration only grew when he was continually forced to cut his golf games short because of dusk.
so, what did he do?
he proposed that the clock be set forward an hour during the summer months, so that everyone around him would wake up early and see the sun rise and so that he could play a full 18 holes in the afternoon.
if i had been aquainted with william williet in the early 1900's and been present when his proposal was made, i might have taken a 9 iron and knocked him out.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!!? I don't think I've ever been so mad in my entire lifetime. I thought we did that for the agricultural system, not for some knuckle head golf goof... such anger....
