The end of BST (British Summer Time)

Today was the first day in work after the end of summer time, grim doesn't do the change justice, and why, what is the point. Summer time was invented to make the most of daylight when the world revolved around agriculture done with ox and cart, but in today's world its the electric light that determines our waking hours, not the sun. So why not let us have the daylight at the end of the day when we can use it instead of at the beginning of the day when all it does is illuminate the start of another drudge in the office/school/... The only amusing bit about today was when my boss said that the reason he hated the clock change was because his journey home would take twice as long, and to make the misery complete, it would start drizzling just after sunset. Well I'm not sure about the commute home bit as I only had to drive 1/2 mile to the hotel, but it was drizzling.
