Yes, that's right - the idiots in Government have extended Daylight Saving....
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
And what about the weather? It's hopeless in Sept, Oct, Nov.
What a waste.
If I sound grumpy about this; I am >:|

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Clocks will go forward an hour a week earlier than usual -- on the last Sunday in September -- and will go back an hour on the first Sunday of April, instead of the third Sunday in March.Are we ever going to see the Sun in the morning again?

However, Mr Barker said daylight saving had the potential to help with energy savings.Rubbish. In a study done in 2000 during the Sydney Olympics, it was found that more energy was used having the lights on in the morning than having them on in the evening.

I'm happy about this, myself, though I would have preferred daylight savings to be extended more at the end than the beginning.
ReplyDeleteI lived in Sydney in 2000 when daylight savings was put in, in late August for the Olympics. After the initial shock to the system, it was quite good. I'd do it again.
I don't mind it for a few months in the middle of Summer, but it's being stretched way beyond what is useful.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'm going to get used to it, somehow; getting up in the dark is damn depressing :(
hate it hate it hate it!
ReplyDeleteBy the time I've finished a day's work I'm too tired to do much else anyway, so the extra daylight is no use to me. And being a very early riser means I have to go to bed while its still light.
ugh!
"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR......"
