As usual, many commenters don't fully understand the complexities of DST.

As someone who has never held down a '9 to 5' job, when I get up and go to bed varies and is more in line with what the sun is doing anyway :) I read the comments about 'taking a foot of the bottom and adding it to the top' and the other 'debate' on simply changing opening/school hours comes to mind. Instead of DST we have to start monitoring 'summer time' ... i.e. when opening hours change ... which I think takes us right back to how this all started anyway? :) Bring back BST ... The UK debate on GMT+1 or +2 just misses the same point ... it's simply 'office hours' which are wrong and it would be interesting to see these days just how many people actually work '9 to 5' ? MOST offices have staff in before 8 or after 9 anyway and I don't remember having a 9AM lecture at university 30+ years ago ... -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
