I am fed up doing this twice a year

[STEED]

Yes it's that time of year we in the U.K. put are clocks back one hour and in six months time they go forward one hour. It's about time all this stopped, leave the clocks alone. :damn:

PS: I know.

[JSLTIGER]

We did that last night over here...however, it's less than six months for us this year...we get to go back to EDT early next March due to a new Federal law.

Wow Steed these are life's real problems. :rotfl:

[Yahoshua]

Eventually I'm just going to say 'the hell with it" and not bother with the stupid clock at all.

So I sign in an hour late and stay an hour longer than everyone else, big deal. At least I don't have to deal with all that sillyness of adjusting my clock every 6 mo.

Think of the poor women where it takes her two or three days too do all her three and half thousand clocks. ;)

PS: True Story

[bookworm_020]

In Australia, time travel is possible. Queensland dosen't have daylight savings, so that puts it out of wack with the rest of the East coast states.
Just to make it more interesting, Broken Hill, located in Western NSW (birthplace of BHP[mining company], now BHP Billiton), runs half an hour slower than the rest of the state as it keeps time with the nearest State captial, Adelaide, in South Australia.

:doh::doh::doh::doh:

I was told recently that next year in the spring, the government is considering a switch to daylight savings 2 or 3 months earlier and in the fall, standard daylight will be bumped back 1 month towards the end of November, so then we'll end up with about 9 or 10 months of daylight savings time.

Has anyone else heard that?

[JSLTIGER]

Daylight Savings time will begin in the second Sunday of March in 2007 (3/11/2007) and end on the first Sunday of November (11/4/2007), instead of the traditional last Sunday of March and last Sunday of October.

I'm not a scientist or anything, but why are we futzing around with this stuff?:huh:
Make up your minds already!

I was just saying earlier today how stupid it is to change the clocks every time. I wish we could just leave it alone. What the heck does it matter if it says 5 o'clock or 6 o'clock. It is still the same 24 hours in a day.:damn::doh:

[Yahoshua]

I agree....

Here is a nice link : http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/index.html that explains the rationale behind changing clock time back and forth every year.

Hmmm tell that to farmers and school kids up in Scotland, leave the clocks on summer time and they'll be going to school in pitch black. Always seems to be southerners who whine and want the clocks left alone.

Well you folk in Scotland should adjust and stop throwing a................

PS: I know three Scots two blokes one women and all three are fed up changing there clocks. The worm has started to turn. ;) :rolleyes:

[joea]

OMG, it's not that difficult, plus we get more daylight in the summer. :doh:

PS: I know.

Just to slightly correct you Steed, we will put the clocks forward one hour in five months time i.e. last weekend in March. We have 5 months on GMT and 7 months on BST. Having said that I think we should leave the clocks alone as well.

Well Done :up:

STEED have you got nothing better to do than moan about everything.

Note to others, STEED isn't typical of the UK population, the UK is actually quite a decent place to live, and if you come to Scotland even better. :)

Your in Scotland not England. :p

Try listening to the radio the amount of unhappy Scots make me look like a nice guy.

Bollocks...

The changing of the clocks has only recently become and issue, Farmers are against it for good reason, and the rubbish RoSPA spouts is crazy. It's fine for you lot in the south, but many children in Scotland live in the countryside and would have to wait for the bus in pitch black, ah but hey RoSPA says it is evening when kids are more at risk.

I love the English stereotype of Scots as whinging tight bastards. Maybe more people should come up to Scotland, and the funny thing is I have never had one bit of anti-englishism up here in the North East. Yea there is a bit of teasing but none of the crap that I have seen written about in English papers. I have found the tightest people to be from Yorkshire and London.

[STEED]

Well if you love Scotland so much why don't you vote to break away from England's rule? And if you succeed your be under the E.U. rule, enjoy. :p

Any way this is a light hearted thread.

[Sailor Steve]

Well, in spite of the fact that I've lived with it my whole life,
I think it's stupid.

I agree. I hate this Daylight savings garbage.

[XabbaRus]

On a serious note if the clocks were left as they were up where I live it would be dark until 9-10 am. Thing is the further south you are it still gets dark later than it does up here. Thing is I doubt it will change, the same argument is tossed around every year and nothing.

[The Avon Lady]

I think it is easier to change the clocks twice a year than to keep posting multiple times on this thread. :hmm:

[bookworm_020]

Avon Lady, You'll get a laugh out of this....

In most parts of the world, the switch away from Daylight Saving Time proceeds smoothly. But the time change raised havoc with Palestinian terrorists this year.
Israel insisted on a premature switch from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time to accommodate a week of pre-sunrise prayers. Palestinians refused to live on "Zionist Time." Two weeks of scheduling havoc ensued. Nobody knew the "correct" time.
At precisely 5:30pm on Sunday, two coordinated car bombs exploded in different cities, killing three terrorists who were transporting the bombs. It was initially believed that the devices had been detonated prematurely by klutzy amateurs. A closer look revealed the truth behind the explosions.
The bombs had been prepared in a Palestine-controlled area, and set to detonate on Daylight Saving Time. But the confused drivers had already switched to Standard Time. When they picked up the bombs, they neglected to ask whose watch was used to set the timing mechanism. As a result, the cars were still en-route when the explosives detonated, delivering the terrorists to their untimely demises.

You may want to pick up the T-Shirt with the story on it.

Now everyone please make sure you put your clocks forward......

PS: I know.lol I live in Perth Western Australia and we are about to have daylight savings trial for 3 years.When I lived in Europe I loved it.

It is the same in Canada... take away DST and, for much of Canada, in the winter months most people would be going to work/school in the dead of "night"... though for me personally I grew up in the Arctic where we had six months of almost perpetual daylight in the summer and darkness in the winter so maybe I'd adapt easier than most, but I still enjoyed that extra hour of sleep this week and it was well worth the whole 5 mins it took to reset the time on my watch, clocks, and cell...

You guys who can't cope with DST must find it hell to travel outside of your own timezone. :lol:
