      Its rubbish and we should just stay in summertime. Yet another daylight hour stolen in the evening

        What the hell, why not stay in standard time? I don’t like having to get out of bed while it’s still dark outside. It’s already bad with everything being dark outside at 8am in winter, doesn’t need to be made even worse.

          In the morning and while I am at work I don’t really care for the conditions outside. By 8 its daylight here no matter the summer or wintertime. But what I care for is going outside in the evening, doing sports in the forest, go cycling and enjoy nature. Its hard doing that when it is dark when I finish working. Other geographic regions might prefer winter time, I personally prefer sommertime

          When we would permanently go to summer time, I will do everything one hour later than now.

            I understand your point, but can you guarantee that schools and work for all the other people will also start one hour later? If just a single person does everything one hour later that’s not gonna solve the issue and if everybody does it then you might as well stick to standard time.

      Just to be pedantic, as I found it really interesting when I realised, it’s actually 5 months winter time and 7 months summer.

        In the US states that still do this nonsense, it’s 8 months on daylight saving time (summer time), and just four months on so-called “standard time.” We should just stay on summer time all year at this point.

          We were so close to being rid of it last year. The Senate unanimously Apprived the “The Sunshine Protection Act” which would of gotten rid of the fall back period we experience in November. But Congress never brought it to a vote so it never became law.
