Two thing I want to say about "Daylight Saving" - one comment, and one question.
First, I hate the idea of changing the clocks forward and back. Theoretically, when the sun is at its highest in the sky that's called midday - 12 noon. Why can't we accept that? It feels wrong to call it 1 pm in the summer and 12 noon in the winter. I went to shool in Edinburgh (south east of Scotland) and the short daylight hours were just a fact of life - Summer Time didn't make any difference to how few hours of daylight we got. And I know some time zones are wide enough to make 12 noon happen when the sun is a bit off-centre, but that's a social arrangement and I can see the sense there. My cheap rate electricity (Economy 7, or some such name) comes from 12 midnight to 7 am in the winter, and isn't adjusted at all, so in the summer the clocks say it comes from 1 am to 8 am. Maybe we could adjust working hours, like that, instead of making our clocks lie. Just joking - it'd never work. 8-( Second - please would someone remind me (I think I once knew) what rules govern the dates for starting and ending Summer Time? I know they are different in different countries, or regions of countries, but my PC knows when to change so there must be rules ... but what?
