I thoroughly recommend the book "Saving the Daylight" by David Prerau:
http://www.savingthedaylight.com/ also available from our fine Library (389.1 PRE at Central Library and Upper Riccarton). It may not change your mind, but it goes some way to explain why we have it, and how it came about. Incidentally, here in Japan, we don't have Daylight Saving, at least, not since 1952: http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/g.html A On Mon, October 1, 2007 15:52, yuri wrote: > On 01/10/2007, Christopher Sawtell wrote: > >> <rant> >> Note that Daylight Savings Time is a heineous plot perpertrated by >> those who are infected with affluenza to kick a complaisant proletariat >> out of bed an hour earlier so that they could get an hour's extra work >> done.
