To put them forward, or was it just us in Victoria?. There will be a few maintenance people around the country earning some extra cash penalty rates) having to reset the timers on the boilers, security systems etc.

If God had meant for us to have an extra hour.......................
There go the bloody curtains again.
I recall when we had some staff members who always turned up late for a shift because they forgot, but when the clock went the other way their memories were just fine:rolleyes:

Actually I fail to see the logic of daylight saving during the summer but would prefer to see it during the winter months where it would make sense.
But politicians have never understood something sensible.

Daylight savings? I have enough problems remembering what year it is, let alone effing around with changing hours. :( (In my head 'tis still '81; every year since then has been a disappointment. :rolleyes: )
This year I finally managed to remember to reset the clocks. Unfortunately, it seems someone else made a pre-emptive change the day before... so for a while there I was even more out of synch with the rest of the world than usual!
Nothing new there, I guess.
Bloody guvmints!

I thought it was to keep the farmers happy - but then we know that is a hard act to do.........

The only thing I hate about daylight saving is the fact I got a big corner unit that has a clock in it with only rear access to change the time so either I need to put it on a mobile base or the mongrel thing is going to be an hour behind for six months a year!!!!!

I wish.
No daylight savings here, and this is one place that really &^%$$%%^ needs it.
They wonder why families are going downhill here, well, how the heck can kids play outside when it's dark at 7:30 in the middle of summer?
(That's not the end of it, but it's not helping things...)
Oh yeah, full sunlight at 4AM.
Whoever set the time zone for here out to have their inlet and outlet swapped over... :mad: :mad: :mad:

I didn't even know about it until my girlfriend asked me to change her mobile phone. I think I got all our clocks - you don't realise how many you have until daylight saving.

just remembered the one I missed, the rotten answering machine :rolleyes:

When you change your clocks, you should also change the batteries in your smoke alarms.
Mine have been giving low battery warning tones every ten minutes for the past two weeks. My wife kept asking me to change the batteries, but I stood my ground and waited till I had to change the clocks. :)

No way mate! I rule the roost in my household! King of the Domain. Lord of the Manor! What I say, goes!
She'd changed the locks and I couldn't get back inside. :(
