Am I right in thinking it ends tonight?

EvannTel

Yes, but only for a few months

nessyp

or forever

Fenton Beasley

That's right but unfortunately it will be forever. These country-bumpkin f***wits will vote to get rid of one of the best things to happen to Dullsville in years.

I can just see the hysteria if we finally get Sunday trading.

WA yes, but all the rest of the Australian states, that have it, will wait untill 5th April 2009

ABCDiamond

It is called democracy at work, and maybe there aren't enough new migrants in the area yet to be able to change the State from what it is, and from what the majority of its inhabitants like.

What I find funny is that people move to an area because they like it, then want to change it to be more like the area they came from, and then insult the other inhabitants because they want it to stay the same as they are used to.

Think about it...

Fenton Beasley

I have thought about it. What about people like me who are here not because "they like it" but because they have to be.

My reasons for being here are my own. DLS is a good thing for WA. How early do these people have to get up in the mornings?

Well said.

People always forget the likes of you and me.....

I get up at 5.30. My husband leaves for work at 6am. Even by the time he gets to work at almost 7 it is still dark just now and has been for a while. That is crap for US. I appreciate it might be OK for you but personally I would rather have my daylight in the morning. If I had a vote I would vote NO because it doesn't suit my life. Why does that make me a country bumpkin ****wit?

I guess we moved here to change things...why else did we have to jump though hoops to get here (Skills assessment) if the Aussies didn't want things to change why have immigration...just my view and I'm voting "Yes"

Best excuse I heard for not having daylight savings was that it faded their curtains and their kids were getting fat cos they were eating more, I ask you

We have just had a walk on the beach and watched a sunset at 715pm, would seem very strange it going dark at 6.15pm when its still summery

Fenton Beasley

I'm sorry NB. I didn't mean to cause offence. You have your reasons and that's great. I was merely offering a sort of tongue in cheek observation to the WA psyche.

I'm trying to say that Aussies may call us whinging POMS, but get them on the subject of DLS and stand back as they go into whinge overload.

Fenton Beasley

So true Polly. I guess I'm like you in the fact that I came here with my significant (Australian) other. They can't stand 'Broken Britain' and so have had to come home... with me in tow.

Australia isn't the worst place in the world though.

lolylew

yeh i'm with you, walked along the beach last weekend and watched the sunset....trouble is once the sun sets your nights over really - its then back indoors with the kids.

ps, love that excuse, lol!!!!!! i heard one where they said the cows didnt know when to milk!!!!!!!!!!!
