    Peter Beattie?

    Rocket scientist or thick as pig poop?:confused:

    I am not sure this man should be in control of a car let alone a state!
    I apologise if this offends anyone.

    Yep. Also, the paint peels quicker and the cows dry up.

    He's no idiot. He's also had a whole lot of skin cancers removed. But I'm a leftie, so political bias may be involved.

    I think his point is that we spend more time in the sun when there is daylight savings not that there is more sun.

    Still he's a politician (= frick wit)

    Beattie's no fool. He knows daylight saving time doesn't make one iota of difference to the actual amount of sunlight. But his electorate, on the other hand.....?

    Well,
    we will now apparently get daylight saving in WA. Until now a major reason for not having daylight saving is that blokes would have the "morning glory" in the bus on the way to work. The WA govt said that they would compensate in the way of more leg room in the busses and trains.

    I'd prefer night-light saving myself

    If anything, it's going to decrease skin cancers in kids because the worst time of the day to be out and about is from midday. If you get the kiddies out for lunch at 11:00 instead of 12:00 they're back inside by 12 and out of the worst of it.

    All of you blokes in the "enlightened" states can laugh but now we will be 25years + 1 hour behind the rest of Australia. The pollies and the crap [remember this is the "Smart" state] they go on with[milk, curtains, skin cancers, kids can't sleep etc] has succeeded in scaring the daylights out of most of the voters - yep, hard to believe but you should hear some of the conversations on the street.

    As you know, the WA State Parliament had a vote on the subject yesterday. I was idly listening to one of the local talk-back radio stations yesterday morning. This is something I would normally avoid like the proverbial but I knew the daylight saving issue would bring out the nut-jobs in all their bizarre glory. I was not disappointed!

    The particular talk-back show in question has a shock-jock who likes to take the p!ss so he was in deadpan wind-up mode. The results were hilarious. One woman could not get it into her head that changing the clocks didn't actually affect the hours of sunlight. She was really angry about the fact the the WA pollies were going to give us an extra hour of dangerous sunlight every day!

    Here's one from left field.

    If daylight saving must happen, have it in the winter.

    Why you ask?

    Well from what I can gather daylight saving is for the extra hour of daylight at the end of the day to do hobbies/sport etc.

    In the winter there is little if any daylight at the end of the working day. So that is when an extra hour of daylight is wanted.

    But Ohhh Nooo, that would mean getting out of bed in the dark....we couldn't have that could we

    Cheers
