Your average solar noon without DST is actually still after clock noon (around 12:08). You live like 2 degrees west of prime meridian!
And with triple DST in summer (I think that's your summer preferences?), the last few days of July in your area would have solar noon at around 15:15 (3:15 hours off) which has the same offset as an 08:45 solar noon (close to my preferences for low latitudes)
Yes, I would have triple DST. Not going to bother doing it if everyone else isn’t, as the evenings are light enough anyway.
Latest solar noon would be 15:13 on July 12, when the sun would rise at 07:01 and set at 23:24, much more sensible and in line with waking hours.
It’s proof from the poll that another user did that people prefer later sunrise times, so you are clearly in the minority!
Average solar noon is not important, earliest is. The earliest solar noon should ever be is 12:00, as the balance should always be shifted in favour of afternoon light.
Isn't ludicrously before noon? Your solar noon is at 11:56am, a whole 4 mins earlier than clock noon. Big whoop, not the end of the world
Yes it is solar noon should NEVER be before actual noon. In some locations I might be 4 minutes ahead of Standard Time if with Standard Time solar noon would be 11:56

So just accept my opinion that the time now is 19:20 BST
