Daylight saving was invented by an American Indian who cut 12" off the end of his blanket and sewed it to the other end to make it longer.
Good on ya, Tonto.
1/2 an hour permanent? how does that work? surely GMT (or UTC as it is now called) isn't 1/2 hour forward just to appease the sun worshippers

Have a look at the Date Line - it has a bit of a kink in it, to accommodate the Chatham Islands, and so we're on the same time in the whole country, the time is permanently 30 minutes ahead of where it should be.
At least, that's what I think (just made this load of bollocks up, hoping it's right...)

Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

the 180th meridian is about 80 miles east of gisborne. that is exactly on the opposite side of the world as greenwich, which is at the zero meridian (prime meridian). essentially then, we are 11.75 hours behind GMT, but there is always a cut off from one time zone to the next, so to make it easier it is 12 hours for the whole country. nz is actually split into time zones, separated by minutes rather than hours, as there is a spread of about 12 degrees from the south west to the north east. also, norfolk island, which is almost exactly the same longitude as gore, is 11.5hrs ahead of gmt, when gore is 12.....

Longer days & lots of daylight when you leave work. Trials bike strapped into the van & riding till it starts to get dark at some crazy hour in mid summer with a big grin on yer smacker.
Nothing better than a decent mid week ride.
You should all buy trials bikes. Life will become a happier place.

Daylight savings rocks!!! I love being able to get home after work and still have a few hours to work on the bike or go for a run or get the washing in.
During summer we get like 7 hours more light in a day than we do in winter. Thats means daylight savings pushes our sunset out 4.5 hrs from 5pm to a max of 9:30pm at summer peak. Where as our sunrises change 2.5 hrs from 8:12am to 5:43am.
I reckon its a good idea. I can't see much benefit with a sunrise at 4:40am so makes sense to shift the whole clock forward an hour so we get more evening daylight instead. Hell if it were up to me I'd make it 2 hours!!!

I like it because I get up early and drive east,on the way home I drive west(of course).Before day light saving I get bad sun strike both ways,after it comes into effect I don't have to worry about it.
It also allows me more time to get things done when I get home.
It makes no other difference to me in the morning because I get up before sunrise anyway.
Resetting a clock just ain't that hard.
