| 1399661 | 2015-04-30 05:01:00 | Where I came from they had daylight saving during WW1, even double daylight saving time during WW2, but New Zealanders being ever cautious only dabbled with daylight saving, and when they did introduce it couldn't bring themselves to advance the clocks by one whole hour. So they formed a committee, and with the usual compromise it was agreed that the advance should be just one half hour, which the observant reader will notice is the mean of 0 and 1, perhaps reflecting the fors and againsts on the committee. This state of affairs lasted timidly until 1974, when with unaccustomed boldness, it was agreed to advance the clocks by an astonishing whole one hour !!!!!!! www.dia.govt.nz |

| 1399662 | 2015-04-30 05:23:00 | Maybe they are using some really OLD servers. Just about every Computer automatically adjusts to daylight saving time, even my own servers do that. :) | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1399663 | 2015-04-30 06:13:00 | It is moi. I have been faithfully manually changing the "Enable Daylight Savings" setting in the forum for years up until now as no one else does it. This year I rebelled. However I am now over the rebellion so it has been adjusted so guests (and non-logged in members) should see the correct time. May not cave in so easily next time .... :p |

| 1399664 | 2015-04-30 06:30:00 | I didn't even notice, but then, I'm not a daylight savings fanboy either.... | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1399665 | 2015-04-30 07:45:00 | What I know is where all this daylight goes when they save it. It certainly doesn't go to the government; there's no trace of any brightness in that quarter. Some foreigner has probably got it, let us hope they get sunburnt. ;) |

Being Aussies that would be a problem as most of them (as I tell my Aussie son in law) don't know the time of day. Of course he replies with suitable Aussie like comments about us Kiwis. :) Ken |
