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

Brilliant... couldn't have said it better myself. Welcome back daylight saving.
And don't get me started on my conspiracy story about the new Lib/Nat government not publicising it's commencement, so as to alienate the public and force a No vote at the referendum

Just been to see a friends band play at the local - he was running late because he forgot the time had changed
I'm not a fan though - wake up in the dark for half the year anyway.
Let's have daylight saving in winter though - that's when I'd appreciate some extra daylight time at the end of the working day!

I'm all for it. Nothing better than having some daylight time for myself when the kids are in bed

Daylight saving caused the water pipe to split to the drinking water chiller unit at work and has flooded out my office.
That's what I'm blaming it on anyway

If you were in an hour earlier you could have saved it by turning the water off!

... and went next door to BP where it seemed the coffee machine didnt care what time it was.
its the computers and registers, not the coffee machine
every night around 1 - 3am, the manager has to reset the system, which puts it offline for about 15 minutes... its aggrovating, but required. when daylight savings clicks over, we have to do more junk aswell... putting us out for longer

And the lifts ...
As well as having a flood this morning, the building's lifts stubbornly stayed on standard time, so wouldn't let anyone up to our floor until 9am instead of 8am
Fun and games

I recall in the first year, whilst we changed the building management system for the start of daylight saving, noone picked it up for the end of daylight saving and the doors opened an hour early...
