Would you rather have darker evenings or darker mornings?

Meaning that, if the switch between Daylight Savings Time and Standard Time were done away with, which one would you prefer be all year round? Daylight Savings Time (so lighter in the evening but darker in the morning) or Standard Time (darker in the evening, but lighter in the morning)?

Darker mornings.
Children do not walk to school now.

In England, March is a funny month. It is very light in the morning. But they will not put the clocks forward.

We had an experiment with permanent summer time in the UK1968-1971: https://www.rsainsurance.co.uk/news/insurance/rospa-and-rsa-the-permanent-summer-of-1971/

It was very popular where I lived. But the Scots objected on the grounds that it was dangerous for children to go to school in the dark. Now I live further north than Scotland and the children have no trouble going to school in the dark so that was not a good argument.
