boetie Posted October 5, 2024 Posted October 5, 2024 Tonight the sensible states in Oz will wind their clocks forward for summer. I effectively lose two hours on Sunday morning. One hour because that's the new time and another hour trying to work out how to change the time on the digital oven clock 6 1

It's amazing how many people turn up an hour late and even two hours early ....... Heavy sigh 2 3

pilot100 Posted October 5, 2024 Posted October 5, 2024 Bob Dylan, the times they are a changin.... Personally I'd prefer for all states to not change the clocks, or how about we al use GMT (UST) and just get used to getting up at 2200 ..... 1
