Is it really necessary?
Don't you Americans know anything about the outside world.
Really?

In Arizona we keep to Mountain Time 365 days a year. We never have to adjust a clock. I wouldn't want it any other way.

So what time do you use on the 366th day? 😉

Time is just something we invented...it never existed before us.

Clocks, watches.... I wish they didn't mean anything to me

I really can't stand being a slave to time.

Yes, theoretically, according to the politicians and businessmen who pushed the idea in the first place. But farmers, who begin their workday at the crack of dawn, have always opposed it. They want the extra daylight in the morning and not at the end of the day. And nobody ever persuaded the cows to change their routine and reset their watches. 😴

Incidentally, the daylight saving scheme was hatched in Britain in 1917.

Time is a nothing more or less than a measure of the passage of the days and the duration of human history. An individual

human being's life span on this earth is but a fleeting vapor trail contrasted with eternity. Gives one pause...




Eternity Past )---------------------------------- (Human History) -----------------------------------( Eternity Future

It was introduced in Britain (and most of Europe), not for farmers, but for common folk so that they could enjoy a little more sunlight.

It also decreases depression.

As far as I remember the UK is in Europe and as previously mentioned, the UK changes their clocks in Spring and Autumn too 😠
In Belgium we change the clocks on April 6.

Yes, and CEST = Central European Summer Time. I hate it. 😠 But at least we still have three normal weeks...

And now I am going to watch Dr. Strangelove. 😀
Wait, let me get this straight...you're not in CEST right now, but you will be in CEST for the whole summer? Oprah will have to do a show on this. 😕
