Double Summer time

I don't think that anyone has really suggested that.

The only proposal that I have heard of is a once-off skipping putting the clocks back one year.

I suppose I could roll with the comic version though and we could just put the clocks one hour forward each year. It would be freaky but I think it might be rather fun.

Where does it say one-off?, its a bit unclear and I think that was what the gingerjedi was talking about.

Didn't the Soviet Union have just one timezone?

I'm coordinating clock change activities this weekend at client co, one area has produced a plan which has over 400 activities. Brand new ERP system. Just service transitioned into operations - why didn't anyone check this?

They want a 6 hour outage.

400 activities twice a year, every year.


Why oh why...

The last time this was done, the Hun were busily bombing the tulipe out of us.

It would also bring our office hours inline with most of the EU, which has got to be good, especially for The Hun who get two extra hours per day to bomb London without going into overtime. But nobody ever thinks of The Hun.

Seems a bit mad to put the clocks back just as it's starting to get dark too early already. Why don't they wait until the beginning of summer to put them back?

Aargh no! I used to work at a European subsidiary of a UK company. We liked that hour's peace in the morning before the UK started work and phoning us up.

Every year this comes up in the papers as they are too bone-idle to write news stories.

It is all al load of bollocks.

What we need is flexible working, remote working and decent furkin management that allows people to be measured on results, not their ability to leave their fat arse in a chair from 9 to 5 every day.
