Roughly translated it means we are getting up too early and should start our days later and get less sunshine or as it is now less rain. ;-))

Actually it's pretty obvious with just a skim, which if written concisely was all that was needed, as evidenced by jdr's post I'm tempted to say some of it's actually quite interesting (maybe I'll offer my services subbing) but that may unleash the next tome...........

It´s riddles because it is just a set of titles of different areas that the campaign should be discussing, but mostly will ignore.
It´s difficult reading because it is a set of "bullets" - used in offices by techies - not proper sentences.

It might be my subject for the last 4 years - but it has now been revealed on TV here and is an inappropriate CAMPAIGN by Big Business in reality.

For the newspapers it will be difficult to explain, in view of the obvious censorship on the subject, why something is wrong with the clocks!

I can now write that YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED - because it is all over for me - it is now up to the Spanish to be told properly what is wrong - and WHY it is necessary to start school and work later (except in Markets and Shops)! They will then decide!

The Crazy Situation is now shown available in CostaDelSol News at www.costa-news.com.

BUT: is it Censorship? My letter to the editor of the paper cannot be found in the Letters section of the website: ´ devil_smile:

Secret Agent INFORMATION !

The letter appeared on April 16 week in Malaga - Benalmadena edition.
You have to put "plumtree" in the search box to find the explanation in the letter without the problems involved being mentioned . so it should be pretty clear for once !

The title is a "Feature of the Weather Page of the newspaper".

The paper has been showing the sun rise/set times for Malaga.
If you are up at 8 o´clock, then the realtime is 5:45 am by the sundial in Malaga ! So - go back to sleep again !

Cheers.

So why write it in that way when your presenting to the media and internet forums ?

Maybe that`s why nobody is listening, agreeing or discussing your points with any merit.

I`m not being funny, but in Spain they work different timetable than the 9-5.Many business in Spain now adopting to 9-5 due to pressure from employees and the EU.

It maybe sunny in Spain, but they use aircon regularly when hot.

Plus humans arn`t pre programmed to work any particular hour of the day, the clock is man made for our ease and understanding, not because we function badly with or without it.

Sorry livit, but i couldn´t disagree more with that last statement - people who work night shifts know it well - the Sun is too powerful in Spain - even when working inside ! The Commission knows it all too well - and they are more than backed by All the big businessmen quoted on their website.

Even animals respond to the effects of dawn on their responses - humans are no different.
By the way - I believe the government intends to impose this - whatever employees wil say !

All I have been doing is virtually copying the data I have been sendingf to mthe BBC Worldservice (Spanish swction) but it usually does include many problems for the people normally- I am just conveying the information to Bitish expats.

Cheers.
