Changing times?
On Wednesday, Jersey will vote on whether to use the same time zone as France, Central European Time (CET).
At the moment the island uses the same time as the UK, but a YES vote could see Jersey an hour ahead of the UK.
We thought it would be fun to see how the country would be split if a time zone line was drawn north of Jersey.
As you can see, Yorkshire would be on CET, Lancashire would be an hour behind. If you lived in Aberdeen you would be an hour ahead of pretty much the rest of Scotland. Whereas Wales and Northern Ireland would keep the status quo.
Just think, if you lived in Cambridge you would have to go to work an hour earlier than someone in Bristol!
We spoke to Senator Jim Perchard who supports the change (he was the one who proposed the referendum) and Christine Vibert who is from the 'No to Time Change' campaign group.
And this is what happened......
We want to know what you think. Should the time change? Is this crazy talk? Do you want to have the same time as France or would you vote NON?

5LNPI: How are you coping in the big chill? 08 Jan 10
10:30 Fri, 8 Jan 10
Last night was the coldest in Britain this winter so far - the lowest so far is MINUS 21.6 in Altnahara in northern Scotland. How have you been coping? This morning we've been talking about how GCSE and A Level students might have to wait another 5 months if their schools stay shut and they can't do the modules they are supposed to be doing next week. Add that to the power cuts, grit and salt running out, gas shortages, airports closed, people being stranded on roads in their cars, and it's been a week of chaos. And with the snow and ice forecast to stay with us well into next week, how have you been coping and what have you been doing to make sure that you and your family don't grind to a halt as well?
