Time Falls Back

[Tarp2]

I just hate Daylight Savings Time, and its consequences. Now I have to readjust my VCR clock and everything.
I have yet to find any reason for this madness.
Bah!!

"I just hate Daylight Savings Time, and its consequences."

Me too.

It would be a much better idea to use power saving time, PST, by having a ten hour working day in Summer and a six hour working day in Winter.

As the days get shorter the working day should get shorter too.

They did leave the hour alone one year in Britain, (1967?) and I remember it as the best year ever, as you could still come home in the daylight.

More family time at home in the Winter months would be a big help with children who have homework to do.

This is more in keeping with living naturally according to sunrise and sunset, which is what we all ... used ... to do.

I seem to remember that it was the British railway system which first put the country on the same time. Before that each station displayed the time according to the noon time when the Sun was at its highest.

Nice link JK. Thank you.

I think the change is too drastic. Instead they should impliment daylight savings time by adjusting the clocks 5 or 10 minutes each day so the acclimation period is less drastic.

I get an extra hour of sleep tonight, always a plus.

Meanwhile, the guys working mid shift (9pm-5am) have to work an extra hour

And get paid for an extra hour.

Try a newer VCR, they reset the time themselves, modern technology what a thing.

I hate when the time changes. It's gets dark to early!

And changing all the clocks is a pain.

And get paid for an extra hour.

Maybe in the civilian world

There goes my two hours of standing around, drinking coffee in the morning, because it's too dark to do anything.

Cut back to a measly 1 hour of "Dogging" it.
