Daylight Savings Time was a good idea when it was put in place, saved money for the war effort. Today it actually costs more money than it saves. Time for an old, outdated institution to go the way of the dodo.

I'm generally up about 0430 anyway - a habit I've acquired here, and something unthinkable in the Scottish Perth, from where I emigrated sometime around the middle of the last century
