Thread: Daylight Saving Time

Daylight saving is the best thing since sliced bread.

Should it be an annonymous poll though ?

I' live in Victoria and I love it. I lived in Perth for 23 years and we had day light savings for about 3 of those years and I loved them as well. The other 20 years weren't too bad either.

Should it be an annonymous poll though

It is

Oh, I get you. Well, I thought about making it an open vote but I would have had to click the checkbox and, what with waking up too early because of the early sun rise, I'm too tired to make the extra effort.

I love it but it should be voluntary. This is a democracy after all!

I love it, but since retiring, I'm not affected much by it.

Funny thing is, now that I don't have to get up early to go to work, I don't have any problems waking and getting up early.

I love it even though I am retired but I suppose all the Banana Benders will say they hate it.

I just feel sorry for all the people that live on the border especially in Tweed Heads and Coolangatta and is worse if you live on one side of the border and work on the other side.

Day light saving should be in Victoria now, it gets light at about 5.30am.

Daylight saving is great.

My father came from England and I got his complexion (SP?) as a result I normaly turn an iridesent type colour in winter. :eek:

I need all the sun I can get in summer.


Glowingly yours.

Ben.

It is great.

I voted don't care. For myself it is great but I live in Melbourne and work in an office during the week. For others it is inconvenient.

I can appreciate the advantages and disadvantages.

I love daylight savings but why is it only in the summer? It would be better to have it in winter as well.

During winter you go to work and get home in the dark so a couple of hours daylight at the end of the day would be nice.


Peter.

I love it and would have it year round if I could. I can't see what the big issue with the farmers is. I can see the problems in the top end though.

So why don't you Mexicans just get up an hour earlier like we do??

The beach is fabuloso at 5.00 am in Summer, and not so many UV rays either...then I can get home by 6.00 and go for a ride on my bike, or combine the two.... The sun goes down nice and early (7.00pm) so we can get to sleep in comfort and do it all over again tomorrow!

Daylight saving is not a real state of being, it isn't about when you get up or go to work, its just about a clock telling the wrong time.

No, no, no, daylight saving is a huge change from normal time, it's almost cosmic.

There's more hours of sun, the birds get up later, the curtains fade less and they start 60 minutes before the sun goes down.

I hear they're even trying to change the orbit of the sun.


Bit like use-by-dates.

The food is perfectly fine until it reaches the date on the pack, then it instantly turns to bio-hazard waste.
