Yeh two good points

What about the mozzies? I thought that was a good point.

My, my haven't we got a cross-section of attitudes here!!

Well I'd just like to add that the human species originally didn't have watches. Their senses stirred to the sun coming up and setting. This kept them in tune with nature - being the food source - and they survived magnificently. For some reason this race decided we needed to be able to keep account of those hours we were awake.

Now I've retired - through ill health - I find this overwhelming pressure from society to comply with all these "time" based deadlines. Frankly if you let them rule your life that is exactly what they'll be - "DEAD" lines. :mad:

You can put a boot in an oven but that won't make it a biscuit.
You could call any particular time "A O'Clock" or "B O'Clock" if your penchant is to keep your point of reference alphabetic.

I just find it absolute stupidity that because of an arbitrary line ie a state border, created by a bureaucracy, can justify calling my time different because I stand on one side of the line or the other. (Which I can do in any number of places around here.) when nature would take care of, of it's own accord if allowed to do so. That's why those in more northern climates have adapted to their habitats naturally whilst those down south in a totally different climate rely on bureaucracy and it's fast paced time constraints to impose what would otherwise be a natural adjustment.IMHO

Herewith endth the sermon

Since I am up at 0430 everymorn to get to the hole of the world (Sydney) for 0700, I enjoy the early sun through spring, but I enjoy the late sun during daylight saving time as it allows me to go surfing during the week!

Darren, you KNOW the answer to that particular question...... if someone sez something you just GOTTA put in your 2 bobs worth - the price you pay for squirrelling youself down the south coast where the only humans you see at work are the ones that drive past your office window!!!!

Guilty My old man used to ask "why do you always have to have the last say?" I'd say "I don't".

BTW if anyone drove past my window, I'd be very concerned:
