Re: TIME, Gentlemen, Please.."Sunny Days are Here Again!"
b) Jolly good idea !
The Beeb statement - apparently like my narratives ! - is rather obscure.
Thatยดs because they have enough problems dealing with China, etc.
Giving it a technical phrase, they are saying that there is preferential, partial censorship in all the media in Spain - on my subjects in particular (In all modesty - a percentage of the information for the beeb statement arises from my information to them since 2005 ).
In other words, the media allow material which supports the Spanish Clocks - but stays silent on opposing views (exception - rare appearances of the President of the Commission in Spain).
Suffice to say, they carelessly permit news items which depend on "hazardous" connections with the silly clocks - and not just the times for midday, etc.!
Cheers.

Re: TIME, Gentlemen, Please.."Sunny Days are Here Again!"
Why is it so difficult to understand that the clocks in Spain are running more than two hours fast in most of Spain ?
It seems clear enough to me that the Spanish people in general have been clever enough to use the clocks AS IF they are 2 hours fast - just as they actually are running fast ! Only in the morning do the authorities make them work at a ridiculous time as far as daylight starting time is concerned !
A good maxim as far as experience in the old country is concerned:-
In Summer, the Sun always rises extremely early in the morning - EVEN in Spain !
Cheers.

Re: TIME, Gentlemen, Please.."Sunny Days are Here Again!"
Mitzyboy is asking how workers are most influenced by the Sun, even if working inside buildings, etc.?
What I was trying to say a bit briefly, is that many Spanish workers now working through the day without the Siesta break in the afternoon cannot escape the influence of the Sun even if working with no daylight visible (as if troglodytes in fiction). The Sun is too powerful in its influence at both dawn and in the prolonged evenings. The Sun beats authoritarianism !
Cheers.

Re: TIME, Gentlemen, Please.."Sunny Days are Here Again!"
Hmmm ... do I go to work now or in two hours time? How do I know if my clock is running more two hours fast? Do I change my clock so that it is now only 06:39 and go back to bed? Ah! but will my clients accept my argument if I am two hours late for the appointment? How can I explain to them of the existence of a new world order conspiracy to make us think that it is really two hours later than it actually is for the purpose of making us think that it's later and therefore confusing the whole issue with regards to the position of the sun in the sky? On second thoughts, do I really care? Hmmm ... easy answer - NO!

Two hours faster than what? time where?
A clock is a man made object used to tell the time with accuracy (providing the batteries are in). (saves looking at the time dial in the p*****g rain every ten minutes). The problem is what?
What have the authorities got to do with it?
In Shetland in Summer we get 24 hours daylight please tell me why the Spanish conspiracy on time has not winged its way here, to get more out of the impoverished workers.
Currently sat in work with my morning coffee - 9.00 a.m. or is it 11.00 or is it 7.00 in which case damn it I could have had a lie in.

Re: TIME, Gentlemen, Please.."Sunny Days are Here Again!"
The Scots and folk up North were up in arms about it,having to go to work in the black dark and worst of all send the kids off to school in the black dark.
Suffice to say it was back to normal the following year.
