I’m guessing you don’t work?

How does working make Daylight Saving difficult?

It doesn’t. I like daylight saving

And that’s cool. And I think we’ve probably come to the point where if the minority want to jigger around with their clocks they can.

The rest of us will stick with standard time.

Lol what, majority are happy with the status quo.

I truly do not get the uproar on daylight savings, let people enjoy the evening sunlight.

Data shows it’s the majority that want to jigger around with their clocks:

It doesn’t have to. If you can work flexible hours, you could work 8-4 or even 7-3 if you wanted more daylight at the end of the day.

I do work. Not sure what that has to do with it.

Allows me to enjoy my evenings more. :slight_smile:

I think the status quo is keeping things how they are with the whole clock thing. Whatever you want, whatever you need… just keep things the same.

What annoys people about daylight saving is the hassle. So Sanjeev wants me to call him at 9am. Is that his time or our time? He’s got AEST on his calendar invite… is that eastern summer time? Or standard time. Who knows? These southerners are always jiggering us around. The Big Bash starts tonight at 6.50. What? Their time? Our time?
Everyday we have to go through such drama. And we’re not the ones constantly fooling around with our clocks.

That’s your personal choice I guess. I finish at 4:30 so I still have a solid 4 hours of daylight. And as I said before the things I do in daylight I feel I can do without. I don’t go to sleep as soon as the sun goes down. I enjoy night time walks and meals. To be honest I prefer night time to daytime.

its Eastern Standard Time - AEDT is daylight time

Oh ok. Yes well, it’s hard to argue against that. I even checked the Ass Prof’s methodology and it all seems to stack up. So I concede that maybe you lefties have the numbers on this one.

Only a right wing nut job would think this is some sort of leftie conspiracy. :rofl:

No evidence shows that only the “lefties” (your word not mine) support daylight savings

Certainly DST has greater support on the left.

That’s interesting. If support for current DLS is that high in NSW and Vic surely there would be support to extend it into September and April. You can sense that the city comes to life when daylight savings start and the seasonal depression starts as soon as it ends.

Can you stop the trolling? What’s your source?
