I've found neither side of the DLS argument to be strong enough to warrant anything other than a conscience vote by the people it affects as to whether it stays. I guess the govt feels the same way, thus a referendum.
My kids haven't missed a beat with the extra daylight - they go to bed at the same time as always. Also means they get no benefit from DLS either as I make 'em go to bed by the clock (which is what our society runs by) not the sun.
I had DLS as a kid before moving here - it didn't really rock my world then either.
Also means we are only an hour different from QLD which makes my excuse of 'sorry, Mum - I thought it was a bit late over there to call' even more feeble than it currently is.
All my work communincations are based in KL and Singapore, who are on our timezone with no DLS.
I'm not against it per se, and I could rattle off another dozen minor annoyances, but only personally having a few equally minor positives kinda lends itself to a 'Nay' vote.
Now if there were an option to swing it the otherway so I can get up early and get stuff done during the early light of teh day before having to go to work etc and enjoy cooler evenings or having a BBQ dinner under the porchlight rather than with the sun beating down - there'd be just as many minor annoyances, but a few more of those minor positives and I'd probably vote 'Yay'
Anyone else up for "Daylight Spending"?
