Summer Time

Sorry it's a week late for Europe, but I just read that (most of) the US changed their clocks last weekend and got an interesting link:

JazzMoss was also asking about it last week so this should satisfy her curiosity. I've linked to what, for me, is the most interesting bit - I thought about this a few years ago and my research led me to the conclusion that it was a stupid waste of time(*). And this article on WikiPedia seems to agree. bigsmile




(*) har har... didn't even realise I'd made this lame joke till after I posted the article! smile

Happy Birthday to me!The bike that bites...

Yes - it is a pointless pain in the bum. They should just make the evenings lighter in winter and then keep it at that time throughout the year.

Canada decided to follow the USA this year to change the time one week in advance, but not all provinces have adopted summer time!
