(23,156 posts)there would have been no end to the complaining here. People would have been railing at the dictatorial government forcing them to set their clocks to some artificial standard, and then hurled invective at a system that meant just crossing some invisible line meant the local time was an hour different. Members would have put up polls to determine what people really wanted. It would have gone on for years. At least the bitching about the switch between standard and daylight saving time only lasts for a day or two twice a year.
Personally, if I were dictator of the country I'd set all the clocks at the halfway point between standard time and daylight saving time and leave it at that. Meanwhile, I rather enjoy the changes. I'm back for a while to having daylight when I get up in the morning, even though the sun will set an hour earlier, according to the clock.
