Will stuff the cows up for milking, though.

No doubt there are "good" and "bad" things about - Daylight savings.

Post by: Biggles on October 05, 2013, 08:57:28 PM: Don't have to worry about it.
We use "Real Time" up here, not some faked thingy. :p

Only an issue when we have to phone into that "other country".
Have to think twice calling after 4:00 pm on business.

You know the best thing about Daylight Saving is we don't have it up here in Queensland :grin

Post by: Sicman on October 06, 2013, 09:09:11 AM: I got home from yesterday at 11pm :H and hit the hay, not even giving the clocks a thought :o. Luckily the phone changed itself :thumb as I got called out again just after the alarm went off at 0630 this morning.

Post by: WendyL on October 06, 2013, 11:19:02 AM: Feeling quite sleep deprived due to daylight savings starting in Tassie. Being up until 2.30am organising the team for leaving early this morning would have been bad enough, but getting up at 5.30 when the click tipped forward that hour meant only 2 hours sleep....

Can't wait to get home to real time and real weather!

Post by: Old Steve on October 14, 2013, 02:16:03 PM: Having lived for years in NZ with daylight savings I was a hearty supporter, all the things you could do in the long evening sunlight.

But having lived in tropical QLD for a year I'm now on the side of the Queenslanders and don't want it. Why?

When the sun sets it cools down. So without daylight savings it will cool down one hour earlier. And that's important, it's forecast for 31 deg C here in Mackay today, it was already 27 deg C when I got up this morning and it'll be high 20s or 30 as the sun goes down.

All those stories of curtains fading and cows not milking are just the Queenslanders taking the urine out of the southern states.
