No interest gained in my daylight savings account..

No. It's not like what you can get for your Solar Panels contributing to the Grid.

DLS is like ScoMo. A bit out of whack from nature.

"Daylight saving" as one advocate for the silly observance told me.

For as long as I work in the food industry, it will slacken business with the sun going down relatively later to the time shown. Most people like their meals at sundown. But, if the sun is still out at 7 pm, they might not want to order until later or if at all.

Any under-16 years old cannot keep out later than 10pm at night. We start them at work by 6pm, they are not allowed beyond 10pm.

I always thought everyone loved it, and I was the only secret hater of it.

I’m actually amazed many don’t like DLS, after all.

So why isn’t DLS reviewed and voted upon whether to stay or not, for current times, as it’s been in force for decades!





Because it's a mega trendy lefty galoptic trend that Victorians love ...  Tongue

I have heard it suggested a compromise might be to move all states and territories forward half an hour all year round.



Grin Another Oirish theory of time travel?

There's nothing wrong with EST. All year round.

If people want to take advantage of the early sunrises ..... go to work and knock off an hour earlier.

Without changing the clocks.  Roll Eyes

sure they are. Can't send the kids to school an hour earlier, can't go to work an hour earlier, can't go home an hour earlier.

Stop worrying about your curtains, contrary to what you've been told daylight savings does not actually increase the amount of time the sun stays up


Ah but yes you can .... you just change the operational hours during summer.

Many businesses & staff do that anyway .... especially tradies & councils.

It's called summer time hours. Roll Eyes

Yes & we have different time zones in Australia because of distance whether there is DLS or not.

So why have DLS?

There is actually no saving of daylight.

It's just a ploy to help those with poorer cognitive & observation skills. Grin

You could be asked the same.

Regular school hours are 9 am start.

Summertime( Sept to close down for xmas school holidays Dec) make it 8 am.

Why do you need the clock moved an hour forward to manage that?

Jaysus - mandated across the board

& then business would be in line with the southern states

just like they whinge about when pushing for DLS.

At any rate some businesses run 8am to 5pm hrs other 9am to 6pm. Some are 24/7.

With so many differing business hours & the natural time zones why the whinge about the hour difference not having DLS makes when dealing interstate?

It's just nonsense.
