Funniest thing Ive heard re: daylight savings was this morning...I pulled into the local Maccas as i always do for my morning coffee and was greeted by a girl on the drive thru speaker, and she says " Im sorry but we arent actually open ....we have to update our systems for daylight savings"....I was like... :shock: ... and went next door to BP where it seemed the coffee machine didnt care what time it was.

I work until 6 at night, so daylight savings gives me time with the kids at the beach or river after work, where we just got back from. I'm for it. And before anyone asks, I ususally start work at 6 in the morning.

Remember Perth actually has 30mins of daylight saving already built into its time. The timezone point is actually near Kalgoorlie.

Yep. Useless timezone trivia for the week: Western Australia (i.e. Perth) was GMT plus 7:43:24 from 1895 to 1943, except Eucla which was 8:35:28. After the war WA standardised on GMT +8.

Love it! I do not understand how anyone can be against it!
Well I can.... but I will keep that to myself :P

It's not like we actualy get an extra hour of daylight ot anything... just our concept of time changes....
