What none of them seem to have the brain cells to work out is that the
number of hours of available daylight in any given day has bugger all to
do with what a clock says..! They lie in bed for an extra hour, sleeping
the daylight away, then complain that little Johnny has to walk home from
school in the dark.

Why don't people just get up an hour earlier and go to bed an hour
earlier, start work/school etc. at 8 instead of 9 etc., problem solved.
