News & Events Daylight saving time

[HugeJohnson]

The extra hour of daylight fades my curtains. That's the only thing I dislike about it

 

[Jack London]

So do we lose or gain an extra hour? I'm working on Sunday.

 

[The_Reaper]

out of curiosity do you have a 9-5 type job? being an office worker, having some daylight when you get home is amazing, the winter months can be pretty much dark when you leave the house, dark when you leave the office. Love daylight saving.

Would be relevant if daylights saving was in winter.

Perth is still pretty sunny during the summer and all daylights savings does is makes it still bloody hot at 10.00 or 11.00 when you want to go to sleep.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Yes! Daylight savings is the best. Not huge on summer, especially the gross and humid and restrictive Melburnian ones, but farrrk... it's an alright time.

 

[Silent Alarm]

I've never met someone I liked who thought daylight savings was a bad idea.

Usually Liberal voting w***ers with the softest excuses ever. It's always hot in the middle of the night in Perth! Typical of the scared, conservatism of that place.

"Oh ma gerd it's too hot to sleep because my house is a piece of crap "

Melbourne isn't humid at all.

Why? I personally think it should be an all-year thing.

If it was an all-year thing then it wouldn't be called daylight-savings, it would just be permanently pushing time forward an hour, which is stupid. After a while society will forget that it happened and be whinging about not getting enough light during winter. Soon enough night time will no longer exist.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Soon enough night time will no longer exist.

That would be quite the achievement.

 

[Cruyff14]

Daylight saving ftw. So, so, SO good.

 

[Prem87]

Miss out on an hour of sleep. Hate it!

Though enjoy waking up earlier to more sunlight.

 

[courtjester]

It's excellent. And needed. It's ****ing well daylight at about 4.50am here at the moment.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

The hour of sleep you miss when the clocks are pushed forward is made up when they are pushed backwards when it's on. Look forward to it, love it when it's still well and truly light at 6 when I'm walking home.

That hour or 2 after tea when you went back out and played more cricket with your mates as a kid

And this

On topic:Is there anyway we can change nature to make Summer less hot? I can handle low 30's. 31, 32, 33 at a stretch. But once you start hitting consistent 36, 37 and 40+ then I think you're just having a giggle there m8. Suggestions?

Apparently if you drive a 4 cylinder very slowly the temperatures will go back to 1960s levels, when it never got as hot as it does now.

 

[BILC]

Love being able to go play nine holes at about 6pm.

Also love that it starts to get light when I finish night shift, the best part of my day is going for a lap around town in the morning when I'm finished watching plebs drive to work.

 

[neroblack]

Very glad we don't have it

Why?

 

[neroblack]

Love it, gives me time to fit in a round of golf after work.

This is the best part of daylight savings.

 

[neroblack]

I feel the same way Balkan. I can't stand really hot weather. 25 to 30 is good.

You're aware that you're going to confuse the people from Perth even more by discussing summer temperatures in this thread, right?

Actually, within Perth, the referendum returned the strongest Yes votes in safe Liberal electorates like Hillarys and Carine. The strongest No votes were in safe Labor seats like Armadale and Gosnells.

Massive LOL to the people who say they miss an hour of sleep

Allow me to write this simple tutorial that should help you get through this tough transition period

If you usually sleep 8 hours a night, when you go to sleep at night on Saturday, sleep for roughly 8 hours

This should sort out any missing hours of sleep you've previously experienced

I hope not. Adelaide summers these days are pissweak and short enough as they are.

Or if you must be up at an exact time every single Sunday, go to bed an hour earlier.

I was saving that for the special edition release

Silent Alarm shown to not know what he's talking about.

Few shocked.

Not having DLS is good for WA business.

With all the non-milking cows and fading curtains East of the Nullarbor just think of the potential for WA dairy farmers and textile manufacturers.

 

[Julius Seizure]

Of course I start work at 9 am Sunday, and have two parties on the night before. I think I'll just skip sleep all together.
