on a serious note... do any of you against day light savings partake in the activities that this forum accommodates?
On a serious note (my first one ever on DLS)
Yes, unlike most who bleat about DLS, I generally sail by the sun not the clock, getting home after nine does lose it's novelty after a while.
My official hours are 8-4.30 whilst being on call 24/7 (constant not rostered) also. As I'm on the road I can end up anywhere within a 150km radius from home through work everyday, my closest customer is still 50km away. If I know there is going to be a good session on that night I load the car up with windsurfing kit and take it to work.
Any comments about anti DLS voters being stupid, ignorant, backwards, a hillbilly made before the trial could
almost be justified.
however
Now calling people names who will vote on their
own informed opinion based on
their own personal experience of DLS is just basically a load of old toss.
If Curtain companies were making record profits they would lobbying and advertising for DLS.
At the end of the 3 year trial people will vote for how it affects / benefits them and what they do,
Some people it will help them with work, some it doesn't.
Some people get some personal benefit from it, some don't.
WA is far far more than the 110x28km stretch of metropolitan area (Mandurah to up past Joondalup out to the hills)
WA is approximately 2200km x 1500km wide, given that its mostly uninhabitable but there is still a whole stack of other people out there in this wonderful state of ours which may or may not agree with your opinions about the benefits/inconveniences to them of DLS.
People will vote on DLS based on their own personal opinions of DLS. We will all have to live with the decision which the West Australian public make based on their informed choices.
If the result isn't what you want and you can't live with it, **** of to another state which may or may not have DLS, it's your choice.
ouch it's hard being serious on DLS
Only 17 to go
