I live in Perth, Western Australia and we tried daylight saving as it is called in Oz twice! the last trial ended in 2009 with a referendum which was unanimously opposed retaining the scheme, thank goodness, which hopefully is the end of the matter for us. It was absolutely daft, as the summer wore you found yourself getting up in the dark to go to work and then when you got home it was so hot you ran the aircon for longer, the only folk who enjoyed it were the power suppliers!  Kind Regards Cheryl

Here in Arizona, we don't change our clocks either. So half the year we are on Pacific time and the other half we are on Mountain Time.

Hi Cheryl, I live in NSW, Australia and our daylight saving has been extended for additional months to what it originally was when it was introduced years ago. I love it, and just about everyone I know wants it to be retained all year so we can also enjoy the extra daylight hours in winter as well. Horses for courses, I guess. Giddy up! :-) Eilish On 29/03/2015 12:01 PM, Cheryl Hebbs via wrote: > I live in Perth, Western Australia and we tried daylight saving as it is called in Oz twice! the last trial ended in 2009 with a referendum which was unanimously opposed retaining the scheme, thank goodness, which hopefully is the end of the matter for us.

I think Saskatchewan is the only jurisdiction in Canada with enough common sense to reject DST. In 1978 we moved to BC from the Yukon, and on my first day of work in Vancouver I strolled in with plenty of time to spare (so I thought). Oh yeah, look at the Yukoner nearly an hour late. Two years later we came to our senses and moved back to the Yukon, and someone in authority had brain fade and instituted DST. Sigh. In the land of the midnight sun, who needs daylight saving time?

One reason that many in Western Australia voted not unanimously, but 55% to 45% against Daylight Saving in 2009 was that the extra daylight would make the curtains fade! :-} In reality, one of the main arguments against it is that, now most people have air-conditioning at home, people’s household electricity bills would go up as they stayed indoors on their PCs instead of using the extra daylight in the evening to go to the beach or do other outdoor activities.
