I've just been flipping through the Hearld Sun with my usual feelings of amusement/disgust and I came upon the daily readers' poll.
The question in today's paper was: "Do you support the idea of 6 months of daylight savings?"
Now I haven't actually heard all that much about this, but Steve Bracks has suggested that the Eastern seaboard should extend the period of daylight savings by a few weeks at each end. This is not an issue I would have thought would be of great concern to anyone and if I had to guess, I'd say that on the whole, most people would be interested in the proposal, except perhaps Queenslanders concerned that it might fade their curtains.
But of 1,890 votes, 27.1% were in favour and 72.9% were against it. WTF!?
Why do people hate daylight saving so much?
