It's good when you haul your ass off a mates couch on a sunday morning, hungover, mouth tasting like several rodents died in it, sweaty and minging, to drive home, look at the clock and see that you made it home for 10 o clock, giving you a whole day to mince about watching telly. Then you get told it's really 9 o clock. How good is that? A free hour!

Are we the only country that has these strange time-changing habits?

I think whoever thought it up was a can short of a six pack, but I still enjoy being given another hour.

Surely it must confuse your body clock, just like jet-lag does. That'll be my excuse when I look dog rough on monday morning anyway.

Just a thread consisting of me thinking out loud there. Anything regarding daylight saving that you've really been wanting to get off your chest for a while? Don't bottle it up ..... ;D

It would also be possible to leave for work and arrive before you left.

that's ridiculous. so you walk a mile and gain an hour.

what happens if you live in arizona and work in nevada. you'd leave work at night and get home over an hour later. that'd do my head in

Most countries do it.

In the USA it is down to the individual states to decide. Bizarrely some choose not to do it.

The Hoover Dam has Arizona on one end and Nevada on the other. At either end of the dam is a big clock. I wondered why, until I discovered that only one of the states has daylight saving time.
