Do you have working smoke detectors in your house?

See, on this forum, we can reduce even a thread about saving your life to the ridiculous :cool:

You just opened a huge can of worms, mate!

Everywhere in Oz with the exception of Western Australia has Daylight Saving.

Over here it has been determined by popular vote :rolleyes: that such an interference with the basic rules of nature would cause curtains and carpets to fade :confused: , cows to give milk in the middle of the night :o , lambs to be borne prematurely :rolleyes: and, if I understand it correctly, the earth to spin out of control and send us all hurtling to our doom :eek: .

In other words, we don't have Daylight Saving here in WA. Consequently, we waste the beautiful summer evenings by turning them into beautiful summer evening traffic jams on our freeway. :mad:

(Don't get me started! .....Too late! ...... Now look what you've gone and done! Aaaaarrrggghhh!) :mad: :mad: :mad:

How wrong can you be Col?

Queensland and WA combine to take up more than half of the Continent's land mass, and since Qld does not choose to save daylight either, it would appear that a only little under half the country does.

Or have I got that wrong?

Cheers,

P

Ok youse two, Ill send you a 1/2 hour each.


Al :)

Funnily enough, some dipwit govt department actually commisioned a report on whether daylight saving fades curtains. Fair dinkum. The result was that it DOES :eek: They discovered that people tended to pull their curtains closed earlier and so the curtains got more sunlight and faded.

Fascinating.

The world just wouldn't survive without reports like that.
