From somebody living in Spain - we quite enjoy our extra hours of useful (evening) sunlight, thank you very much!

Those "extra hours of sunlight" you "have" are defined by the time you start to work, not by timezone. If you have tendency to start late and you want to hack the tendency by re-numbering hours, you will get to the same situation you are now soon.
It's a mechanism very similar to inflation, but somehow more silly. Who would say that the only way to enjoy sun in the evening is to get up early!

I do agree, but the time I start work is unfortunately decided by society, not me.

You can change the time zone or simultaneously change all schedules for all public transport, all schools, all kindergartens, all universities, all hospitals, all work places, all industries, all radio & TV channels, and so forth and so on.
I hope you get the point.
