?

should we continue to turn the clock back in the fall?

  1. No - it is an archaic practice that is outdated

    SailDesign Old Phart! Stay upwind..

    Dutch - YES, we should. It gives an extra hour of sleep, or an extra hour of biking time.

    It is the practice of turning the clocks forward in the spring that should be stopped ;-)

    Course they do... and looks like the exact same day as yourselves.
    It' s around the tropics that they don't need to, the sun always rise rise at similar times there, but not so around here.

    Changing of the clocks

    I don't really care about coming home in the dark. I just wish we wouldn't change the clocks either way. Let's decide one way or the other and leave them alone.

    But that's the hard part...getting everyone to agree on one way or the other :)
