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.

PS: I know.

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:

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

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.

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?

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?
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.

[Yahoshua]

I agree....

I took one look at the thread title and thought Steed was talking about baths.

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.
