    Wish I'd checked this last night.

    Was happily perched on bed with family munching hot cross buns for brekkie, when Dak pointed out it was 10.07 and the eldest should have been in work at 10.00

    Why don't we just stick to GMT and adjust standard working hours to be symmetrically based around that, i.e. 08:00-16:00. That would give perfectly equal amounts of daylight time for morning and evening travel, all year round. Problem sorted.
    It's probably beneficial to have sunlight when or soon after you wake up. Or something

    And think of the paperboys and milkment and posties who'd have to walk round in perpetual darkness in their morning rounds!

    Got in at 3/4AM this morning - blumming clocks eating away at my sleepy time!
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    The forum clock is 15mins slow for me - I'd rather have it an hour than 15mins - that's just odd!
