I remember I was asked about daylight saving (as it is followed even in Europe) a couple of years back & I wish I could explain as well as you did. I managed to convey the reason but at that time, I wasn't very convinced I did ;-)<br /><br />" I am yet to see any employee come one hour early at the beginning of “standard time” saying they forgot to change the clock.

The hotel I stayed generated to circular which they pasted on each guest room's fridge 1 week prior to this time change. <br /><br />It was "Move your clock back by an hour"<br /><br />During my earlier visit, it was around August which had daylight savings on. What I doubt is if it really served any purpose. I mean, you want to save energy, you dont need such a rule to do so.Insigniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819054091062923489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-39755754793554343172009-10-31T07:30:16.856-07:002009-10-31T07:30:16.856-07:00amazing post SG...very interesting...

It would have made sense when we didn't have electricity, but in today's world where life goes on for 24 hours, it hardly makes any sense.Varsha Shrotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526328636637682997noreply@blogger.com
