Daylight Savings time

“the sun does not set later because of it”… … ok, now I’m confused.

The sun does not set. The horizon moves up.

"You can cut 24 inches off the top of a blanket and sew it onto the bottom, but you won't get a longer blanket." Don't remember where I got that from.

You’ll be cancelling the 29th February next !

Naw, they'll just cut it into 4 parts and we'll have an extra 6 hours to sleep each Feb 28th/Mar 1st overnight. Be a great way to get everyone to buy a new clock....

Supposedly, it's an old Indian saying.

I do not like the twice-year changes, but I'd like being permanently stuck on winter time worse. I don't really mind it being dark in the morning - I'm going to the same office to do the same job anyway so it doesn't impact anything. But having even a little bit of daylight left after work is frequently useful.

Winter time is real time. If we went back to a country that utilized summer hours for some businesses then being "stuck" on real time wouldn't matter to you.
