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.

[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.

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!

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

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.

I agree. I hate this Daylight savings garbage.
