I don't get this talk of an extra hours sleep with the daylight saving changeover. All it seems to do is add an hour to my day.

And confuse people as to which way to turn the clocks. Not having daylight savings can be a blissful thing

I was going to add that in my post but thought, nah it's been done to death. When we trialed daylight savings in QLD about 20 years ago, a prominent local bloke...who is dead now, so I can talk ill of him... up here where I live complained bitterly in the local rag how daylight savings caused him to cut himself shaving on more than one occasion, I kid you not

There's no 's', it's daylight saving. Just saying.

Yes there is.

Edit: sorry, misread that as "there's no s in daylight saving"

There is no I in team but there's me!

Beg to differ, it is now the past, they have gathered their 'savings', there is more than one day so it is plural

 

[I Dont Care]

Well..looks like we are going to get another late cyclone up this way. Better get ready I suppose

The name is a description of what is actually taking place, i.e. saving daylight, which can obviously be referred to as the 'practice' of daylight saving.

No, it is not current..didn't it finish for SA this morning? So is not 'actually taking place' it is now past tense, and as my original post was referring to events of about 20 years ago...it was very past tense. Also with daylight 'saving' it is not a single event, but a daily one spread over 6 months, therefore a plural event. Hence 'daylight savings'

 

[Dylan8]

Nah MS got it right - the practice of 'daylight saving' can be done every day during the daylight saving period. No need for plural.

 

[I Dont Care]

Cyclone Ita...come at me...with all your electricity blackout no internet for me glory. I will survive

 

[Lambot]

What ****ing time is it?

Ah, but the grouping of those 'every days' is spoken as an event of 'days'. Plural. Therefore the event is thus described as; 'daylight savings' If you were singling out one particular day in that period..then yes you would thus say 'it is daylight saving today'

 

[I Dont Care]

What ******* time is it?

1 PM in QLD

 

[Portia]

Just found out that Pharrell Williams is four years older than me, not ten years younger which he looks. ****er.

 

[xflamedancer]

What ******* time is it?

1105 in Perth

 

[I Dont Care]

1105 in Perth

It's now 3 in the morning somewhere...forever

Boy am I glad I never posted as much during our dark years, the bumping of necro threads isn't making me look foolish

When I was living in QLD (1990's) Adelaide had quite a bad heat wave and some elderly people were hospitalised and a couple may have even died so it made the news in QLD. An acquaintance, who I had previously believed to possess a reasonable intellect, told me that the reason South Australia has some many heat waves was because of the extra hour of sunlight caused by daylight saving.

Daylight savings (yes I'm using the plural...come at me) seems to confuse some people who you think would be more logical, for some reason

I can't be the only one that thinks it looks unprofessional as channel 7 broadcast foxfooty and randomly cut off to Bruce and then back to the game and back and forth.
