Quoting 'ruby_blossum' daylight savings....Its just me so I dont have to worry about getting kids to bed or up the next morning...I imagine that would take the fun out of the extended daylight hours. This is clearly a misconception ... the day is not extended - your structured routine window is just shifted within the 24 hour period.Of course we rednecks in QLD don't need to worry about it as it doesn't apply here.Personally I didn't like it whilst living in Sydney as a youngster ... when it doesn't even get dark until 9pm you can't get to sleep early if you need (early morning starts) and when you go out for a night on the town several productive hours are lost .It is also a real pain for all primary producers as the animals don't care what 'time' you call it ... they rise at dawn and things like milking the cows and arranging all the production and transport requires those associated with the process to change their work hours to accomodate ... kinda defeating the purpose ?

In which ever way it occurs, just LOVE daylight, blue sky and sunshine.......beach, gardening, surfing,swimming....although skinny dipping is better at night!!!!! ;))) My son told me this morning he doesn't like it because you can't see the Christmas lights so well! fair point!! Having grown up in the north of England where in the height of summer it doesn't get dark until nearly 2300hrs....... :))

As an IT Nerd I hate DST... especially when working with people/systems from around the world and their DST kicks in at different and strange times to our DST... is like a dyslexic STD.Lived in NSW, QLD and WA and can't say at a personal level it mattered that much either way.

I do understand the amount of hours in 24 hours havent changed...its just the daylight hours are extended according to the clock.

Not so much pressure to start cooking dinner so early !Don't know what it is, the sun goes down and the kids expect to be fed!! Also love it still being a bit light when I get home from gym on those hot evenings, strip off and straight into the pool

I'm a morning person who's up at the crack of dawn and DS messes up my body clock. Those few weeks before it starts are absolutely wonderful, the first few rays peeking out around 5-5:30 makes it so much easier to get up and feel rested. Now it feels like I've had a late one everynight for the past week (and it hasn't even been a week yet, up yours daylight saving!)There's always some person who says something like "But it gives you more time to do stuff outside!" Yeah, maybe, but we've got stuff to do inside. Bocci or sex, what are you picking?

LOVE IT!!! So nice to be able to go for a walk or bike ride with the kids after dinner on a warm night, or stay at the beach longer!

I get up with the sun anyway. I have always loved daylight savings. Even when I had young kids in care. I never noticed getting them up in the dark.- Posted from rhpmobile

Personally I don't see the point of changing the clocks twice a year for Daylight Saving Times and glad it doesn't happen here in the NT... although I do have to adjust my Foxtel viewing time as programs have shuffled to an hour earlier. HISTORY LESSON: Daylight Saving Times were introduced into the southern states during World War II when many things were extremely rationed, including electricity use. Therefore by adjusting to allow for a "later" sunset it would be closer to bedtime for many people, thus minimising or even eliminating the use for electric lights and perhaps other electric devices. (Not sure if it was just summer months then or perhaps year round?) That is about the extent I know about it for fact, but based on that information, Daylight Saving Times adjustments are really irrelevant now. Most people who are pro Daylight Saving Times are probably only so because they have grown up with it and as such, have adjusted their lifestyle to suit the government instigated change. Having moved from NSW some years ago I do not miss Daylight Saving in the slightest. Mr

BBQ for dinners at the beach after a sweltering hot day . Surfing after work . It was a bit tough , when my son was younger , trying to get him to believe it was BedTime . DayLight Savings makes sense in Summer , when the days are longer . GG♒️- Posted from rhpmobile

Me too Ding, that was what I was going to say. The change over is a pain for a week or so but all good after that.

Many moons ago, employers wanted to have their workers start and finish an hour earlier due to the naturally occurring longer days. The unions all cried blue murder. So they called it daylight savings, and everyone was happy. It doesn't save any daylight, it simply fucks with your body click for 3 months only to have it fucked with again when it ends. There's no positive in that. There's also no longer days, other than what occurs due to seasonal changes. How do people even manage to think that there are more hours of daylight due to daylight savings??? In my opinion those that want it...fine each to their own.....start by getting up earlier while the rest of us enjoy a steady, untouched circadian rhythm, without dopes fucking with it.- Posted from rhpmobile

hated it when they trialled it up here ('here' being Qld - and I'm in north Qld). There's more than enough sunshine and sweat up here in summer without needing to add to it.

Suits my body clock.. I used to wake up early and lay there for ages.. Now , I wake up , get up , and get going. I guess the people who like to lay in would hate it..

....which is why I'm glad I live in WA as we don't have daylight saving here....I always felt that the government introduced it so people would be out and about spending their money?It has nothing to do with 'saving' anything and our farmers loathe it.You can't get your kids to bed as it's still daylight so everyone gets over-tired and drained and who likes getting up with a sparrow's fart in the dark every morning?...it's already sunny enough on the west coast thanks...it's perfect here...so roll on summer!

I love it, haven't had it for 20 yrs though. It allows me to get home from work (Not that I do much between drinks nights :) and exercise or catch up on jobs at home in daylight. Or to enjoy the pleasant weather of the evening... I'm more a night owl than an earlybird, so in se Qld it used to shit me to have the sun come up at 4:30 am. The tropics are different, the amount of daylight varies less over the course of the year... About 12-12.5 hrs a day. Hp xo 💌 Because your safe... I'm back in Deni...

I love daylight savings. The extra light always tricks me into not realising its bedtime. Didn't put my little one to bed till 9pm last night whoops!My late grandmother never wanted daylight savings to come to QLD because she thought the extra hour of daylight would fade her curtains LOL!!!!!
