Making daylight savings permanent

The yearly argumanet over it has come up here again. (clocks go back next weekend)

Should we just make it a permanent thing?

Not sure how people in other countries feel/deal with it,

TBH not even sure which non-main countries even have it and which, if any don't

Personally in the make it permanent camp, as apart from a few dairy farmers who moaned when it came in, but seem to have adjusted to it, it seems to be a good idea,

Disclaimer: I did have and OE in Europe which turned into 10 years, where when it wasn't daylight savings and going to work in the dark and then it turning dark about 3 or for was depressing as hell for months. So may be slightly biased.

Just realised the term "daylight savings" may mean jack to other people.

It is the twice a year thing going into the colder/warmer months by one hour.

A new petition wants to make longer days permanent. On April 4th, New Zealanders put back the clocks an hour as daylight saving ends. But a group called Take Back the Clocks is petitioning for year-round daylight saving. Founder Louis Houlbrooke told Heather du Plessis-Allan the twice yearly change causes stress for all New Zealanders. "Especially for the parents of young kids, the farmers, the dairy cows, anyone working across time zones. "It's really not necessary. In a week and a half, we're going to get an extra hour to sleep in, but for what? We'll be walking home in the dark."
