Welcome. That certainly makes sense as a reason, and I'm sure it's the real one, but I remember the road accident story being told to me as a child.AnneDroidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15381935612631976494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257056374166663396.post-62920246636429237642008-10-26T11:52:00.000+00:002008-10-26T11:52:00.000+00:00I thought the whole reason for the daylight saving...I thought the whole reason for the daylight saving was to accommodate the farmers. To give them more light in the winter mornings to do what farmers have to do?Damo Mackerelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225139210177653458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257056374166663396.post-64582238096957215412008-10-25T02:20:00.000+01:002008-10-25T02:20:00.000+01:00I dislike the daylight savings time changes.

It would be really expensive no doubt, though costs would fall with mass production, but it may save the country more in the end in terms of money spent treating SOME of the people with depression in the winter. Just a thought.AnneDroidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15381935612631976494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257056374166663396.post-78298660035559509792008-10-24T09:10:00.000+01:002008-10-24T09:10:00.000+01:00Reading the last paragraph, I wondered whether Wil...Reading the last paragraph, I wondered whether Willett was a mathematician.

I don't see any benefits from it other than, like you said, that one time a year we get to sleep one more hour! I could use that more than once a year;)The W.O.W. factor!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18262478798908787803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257056374166663396.post-30926294780353795022008-10-24T01:33:00.000+01:002008-10-24T01:33:00.000+01:00We don't change for two more weeks because the U.S...We don't change for two more weeks because the U.S. Congress in its infinite wisdom decided to lengthen the period we're on Daylight Saving Time (as it's called here.) I hate it in the fall when we turn the clocks back because dusk comes so much earlier. I know that we're going back to what's supposed to be the "real" time, but for a person with SAD, it's a horrible jolt.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I'm not surprised that there is a lot of SAD in Scotland. I'm convinced that it's related to life in regions close to the poles (and thus exposed to extremes.) I'm half Swedish, and I think I had a genetic tendency to it. Most of my brothers also seem affected.Ruth Hull Chatlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797146501548509911noreply@blogger.com
