Turn on a light Mitch... The dark doesn't stop you doing your assignments... But I know what you are getting at... I too seem to eat later, and then sleep worse. I am sure we will all get used to those things...

I was just able to spend two hours shovelling gravel after work - I'd only get 1 hour without daylight saving. Cant shovel gravel around at 5am either.

Bloody WA. Wait Awhile indeed. :flower:

Unfortunately Dicko, they don't care what we want. Which part of no don't they get.

Interesting that mitchb is under 18 and hates DLS, my son has just turned 18 and hates it, and most of the younger generation seem the same, I think in the end the vote will be No but they will force it upon us,
EB modern technology is amazing :oops:
And Aquaponic Bacon the mind boggles :shock:
And yes Stuart totally correct, WA also had DLS in both world wars but this was for power saving and practical, would be useless trying it for these reasons today as everything we have depends on power, though some say they don't use aircons til later in the evening, a lot do, last year there was a ad campaign trying to get everyone to turn off power in peak times as our supply was overloaded, this didn't happen before DLS

In all honesty, (Said no before, Got the laugh)
I've grown up with DLS, (I'm Now aged 45)
The first couple of days can be a pain,
But after that, everything sort of falls into line,
Sometimes I find myself eating later, or feeling more tired at bedtime,
but that is usually because I've just come home from work and done the lawns,
or some gardening, or something else that makes me Knackered on the weekend!

Tonight I washed 500litres of Hydroton, In the daylight!
Not bad for a 5:30 start!

Deep down I look forward to it,
