Maybe an alternate idea could be a bank to save darkness to utilise at a time that suits you better.. like when its not raining or full moon or cloudy or dusty. But for free. Now that would be cool.

I don't mind daylight savings. It means I get some daylight when I leave for work at 6am and arrive home at 8pm on the day. But I can see how some do'nt like it.

Night time wasting
This isn't daylight saving, it's night time wasting. I mean here we are moving into the time of year with the fewest hours of dark and they go and make it even less accessible. This clearly wasn't invented by an astronomer. Night time wasting is part of the reason I basically 'hibernate' through summer. That wasn't too bad when it lasted for 4 months but now they have stretched it out to 6 months it is TOO MUCH I say - TOO MUCH.  Come the revolution those clock-fiddlers will be the first up against the wall.

Agree, IMO spending quality daylight hours with my family is more important than any hobby, even this one.
