Not quite accurate...

We were talking about NZDT. The reason quoted when it was adopted was to give Dairy farmers more daylight.

Let's see if I can make this clear. Clocks go forward one hour, stay forward one hour, until they go back one hour. You have one hour more daylight in the eveing and as a result of this xtra hour you are in bed one hour later. So in effect you are losing one hour in the evening every evening.

Now as the clock has been put forward, this means the next day you have to get up an hour earlier; in the dark. So it could be argued that instead of loosing one hours sleep you are loosing two.

You sure 'bout dat? From memory it was dairy farmers who were most upset about it (well, my Dad was for one) and then there was that dairy farming district in Northland that for years made the TV news at the start of DST when they steadfastly refused to put forward their clocks each spring. But then, hey, senior moment...

Yep and there were a couple of other districts that bravely resisted the forces of progress too, however, and this is the tale that was relayed to me by Heather's 89 year old Grandfather, about 6 months before he died, "They were buggered when the milk tankers kept turning up too early. Lost them hundreds in wasted milk it did."

Haha, that’s funny. I’ve been to Christchurch on numerous occasions so I know they have electricity, so obviously you are taking the piss.

'Loosing two' comic genius! The clue is in the spelling as well.

No flies on you ol' son. Sharp as.............

I f*cken love day light savings. Means my customers can get back from work in time to hold their horses for me (and, more importantly, be there to pay me). As a morning person I wake when the sun is up anyhow. Now if we could get the sun to stay up longer in winter as well, I'd get more work done and still have time to ride then as well.
