ChaunceyK: I've always thought DST was stupid...put the clock forward an hour, 6 months later put it back an hour. Why not just put it 1/2 hour between the two & leave it there all year round?!
Its not stupid. :) On the contrary, it is quite good for your business. :)

I could see that back in the days of horses & buggies and candlepower, but we're a modern world now. I kind of assume that if a country has clocks & watches, they also have electricity & don't need to worry about natural light...especially with so many jobs taking place indoors where the lights are on anyway.

It is just my opinion...notice I say "I've always thought" rather than "It is." I don't wanna take a GameRager-like dive to -900 Rep over this!

Wishbone: As far as I know, the DST switch is synchronised throughout the EU. So at 3 a.m. this morning, the clocks were set back to 2 a.m. all over Europe.

Matchstickman: Almost, it's 2am to 1am
Then the exact hour isn't synchronised, because here in Denmark, it is indeed 3 am to 2 am.

Exactly. That is one of the main purposes of DST, to save on electricity, though whether it actually accomplishes that in today's "open 24 hours" world is debatable.

It also depends on where you live. Arizona doesn't use DST because the extra hour of sunlight causes people to use more electricity on cooling than light.

D'Oh!
The hour is sychronised but the time on our clocks isn't... because we're in different time zones.

Okay, apparently the time (but not the date) has been synchronised for longer than I thought. It's just that the date was synchronised in 1996. I wish it wasn't. I liked it better when it happened a month earlier. Now, the switch means that from one day to the next, it's suddenly dark when I leave the office in the afternoon, and it makes very little difference in the morning.
