Should daylight savings be all year round?
« on: March 27, 2005, 04:07:38 AM »
Not being much of a early morning person and more a night owl lol I won't see the "extra" hour of daylight in the morning around 6-7am and in any case most people don't start work until 9am when it's light anyway. I always like the fact with daylight savings you get an "extra" hour of light in the evening.

Anyone else mind daylight savings all year round? Obviously won't get a affirmative response from Queensland  ;)

Fken oath - I am working a 12 hour night tonite and now it is a 13 hour one - I am going to be tired at the footy today. :sleep

In all seriousness I love it - It's miserable in winter when it's pitch black at 5:30.  :thumbsup

You could have it all year, but then you wouldn't have daylight savings, you'd just have a new time zone. And before long, someone would suggest introducing daylight savings.

I prefer standard time - light mornings mean plenty of time to walk the dog along the beach before work.

I used to send messages to John at 6.30am telling him to get his face out of the keyboard lol
I hate getting up early - wish i was a night person.
But at least now the sun is nearly up at that ungodly hour with daylight savings gone.
Still luv summer and the sun going down about 9 - it should be all year round.

I prefer when there is no daylight savings in Oz

It means there is daylight savings in the Nth Hemisphere.

I fancy seeing some daylight every now and then in London. 

Its much easier to see whether or not its raining  :-\
