Because a lot of us either work or have a fixed activity on Sunday morning.
I was on nights when the clocks went back last time which is a bugger as it made my shift an hour longer!
British summer time is supposed to be for the farmers, but they don't exactly have to work office hours do they?I was on nights when the clocks went back last time which is a bugger as it made my shift an hour longer!

I've lived in a place sans daylight savings... it meant the sun came up at 4:00 and was down at 20:00. This place refused to adapt daylight savings because, and I'm serious, "the curtains would fade" and "the cows wont know what time to be milked". It was also 35+ degrees in the summer, so by the time 5 AM rolled around, you were already sweating your balls off.

I'd be inclined to say summer time all year round is the answer. Nothing more depressing than going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark, at least there would be a fighting chance of seeing some daylight on the way home then.
But I like the seasons, apart from anything else it adds variety to my drinking, ales in winter by a cosy fire, lager in summer in the beer garden. wildoliver said:

Be glad you don't work where I do. We have flexitime, ie I can start anytime I like before 8:30am and finish anytime I like after 5:30pm. In fact they are so generous that they have given me my own set of keys so I don't need to be worried about being kicked out at 7pm when they lock up.

It stops it being broad daylight at 4:30 in the bloody morning.

Queensland doesn't have daylight saving, therefore summer evenings are short with sunrise at some ungodly hour.

I don't think your opinion is particularly unpopular; not amongst the sane minded at least!!Edited by HTP99 on Thursday 26th April 08:51

I believe strongly that we should just leave it at GMT all year. We aren't changing the hours of available daylight, we are - effectively - lying about what the time is.

Want more light in the evening? Get home earlier. Don't pretend it's an house later than it actually is.

I don't think D Trump is actually doing that badly as a president.
it's like having a pissed chav in a pub as president... no one know what they might do next, they could be incredibly violent at any moment, they're just a horrible person with few values... so yea i can understand other countries handling him how you would handle that guy i.e. just don't try and piss him off in any way. It's an incredible gamble to choose someone like that to run the country, but of course most of the people that voted for him weren't considering it like that anyway, they just thought he spoke to them in some way. So in some places that risk might pay off. It only needs to not pay off once though eh. Kaboom. Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
