I hate the transitions.
Quite right. DST (or BST here) should be abolished. Noon, mid-day, 12:00 should be the time when the sun is highest in the sky. Fiddling around with that is just pointless.

One proof that it's a bad idea: It's not implemented symmetrically. It ought to either come in earlier or go out sooner.

If having lighter evenings is really an advantage, why not decide to have the working day symmetrically around noon instead of around 1pm? Instead of 9 to 5 work 8 to 4
