Re: Daylight saving in WA

Missing the light nights.It was great after a day at work to still beable to have time with the family enjoying walks,evenings at the beach.
Not the same walking in ther dark.
Asfor light mornings what does it matter if its light or dark on drive to work.
Most countrys have daylight saving and shock horror they all servive.
Then again we are in WA and god forbid there should ebe life after 8pm bet you have al got your uggs and pjs on!lol:rofl:

Actually I have it sussed now, I work shifts from 6pm to 6am, so by the time I get home its daylight, I can sit outside, have a beer and relax in daylight :)

I get home from work at 6pm and usually have a beer in the garden.:)

Seemed strange last night after 6 months of light evenings, almost like sending the clock back an hour has just ended summer pronto :(

Whereas if the referndum was held in say, January, they might vote no because regardless of DST the evenings still allow them to feel 'summery'?

All times are GMT -12. The time now is 8:52 pm.
