I'd like it all year round thanks, but the extra hour sleep this weekend will be nice.

I honestly can't stand daylight savings. Only two more years of it in the the West until we vote NO for it in a referendum.

I'm looking forward to the end of it. But I don't have my LX working to use at the moment, so it won't make much immediate impact.

I would like no daylight saving in summer, and to have daylight saving in winter (June, July, August), when I don't usually get to see any daylight at all (work underground, longish hours). But for some weird reason that seems to not be accepted as a good idea.

We have already had three referenda (sp) but we still got it again. Three years trial ? three days would have been enough. I was doing a north/south line by meridian crossing a week or so ago and found that the local noon was 1.28pm.. I'm hanging out for the end of it..

Perth is on the very western edge of our time zone (UT+8) so we have what seems like 1 1/2 hours daylight savings, no wonder it's not particularly popular.

I'm also looking forward to the cooler months of the year.
