| 596767 | 2007-10-01 04:58:00 | Instead of moving the hour backwards or fowards why not move the times you start work and finish work back by one hour. Say if you normally start work at 8am you start at 7am and at the end of the day you would finish at 4pm instead of 5pm. I don't know whether that would work, most probibly too confusing. Just a thoughtless thought. :) |

| 596768 | 2007-10-01 05:06:00 | Already start at 7am, Lots of fun in the cold dark of winter. And when busy we work to 6pm. Makes for some nice pay packets. So, Your idea wouldn't be of any benifit to me. Personally Id rather the rdo system was in use in NZ. |

| 596774 | 2007-10-01 07:06:00 | Alright you have me stumped, what is (RDO):confused:RDO's are used when you work five days on with two days off for example. The days off are not necessarily Sat or Sun. | Jen (38) | ||
| 596775 | 2007-10-01 07:17:00 | "Daylight Saving Time" the term is self explanatory, if you don't have it you will be sleeping in the morning when the sun is already up, at the end of the day the sun will be going down as you want to play sport in the light. So get up earlier and effectively shift the day so that you have much more daylight in the evening to be out and about and still be able to see. I think it was also introduced in England to save power, you can see how that would happen. Of course as the Earth goes around the sun, because of the tilted axis, daytime is increased in Summer and decreased in Winter so this is why we have daylight saving in Summer and not in Winter. |
