It's First of April! Summer time and trailer_spot's birthday!

Apr 01, 2011 13:35

And sadly, this is the first week of "British summer time", the one single thing that can be crowned as "Spoil alexandral's spring mood the most". I hate it, hate hate hate it. Hate is a strong word, but I just do not understand why do I have to go through with this nonsense year after year. I am generally not a morning person to start with, which ( Read more... )

We had this a few weeks ago, and it took me forever to get acclimated. I hate it and don't know anyone who doesn't. I wish "they" would just choose one time or the other and stick to it.

Yes, I don't think there is too much difference in daylight if the time is only moved 1 hour there and back. But it makes a big difference for my level of tiredness. Somehow it seems to affect me more and more as I am getting older.

I loathe the time change in the Spring (Autumn's one is great). I wish they'd just give it up as it seems to make little difference one way or the other.

I agree with you wholeheartedly!

Always remember one thing: you don't live in Scotland. XD That thought should make anyone from Yorkshire happy. ;D

I really like Scotland - it is lovely!

Thank you! :)

I probably shouldn't mention it. But I'm a big fan of summer time. I don't care about any of the arguments, it's just that I like it much better when the sun sets later in the evening. And thankfully it usually only takes me about half a day to adjust. :)

YAY!

I thought long and hard and I think the daylight saving time should be kept all-year round - I also don't mind the earlier nights, but I have liked them on in winter. In winter sun here gets up (the latest) at 8 (about) and sets at 16 , consequently you don't get any light after working hours. I think 9 to 17.00 would have been better. :D

I think the daylight saving time should be kept all-year round ... I think 9 to 17.00 would have been better.

It's the same times here. While in case of the second suggestion the sun would rise unusually late, I could live with both compromises. :)

See! We both agree! :D Finally, after a whole week, I am feeling a bit better. :D
