It's just that many of us would like it to get dark at 4:30pm instead of
3:30pm on the shorter days and at 6:00pm instead of 5:00pm on the run up
and run down as this would at least give the illusion of more day light.

In the morning, dark is dark is dark is dark and it matters not one jot
as most kids get driven to school these days and few of us have cows we
have to get up and milk.

And an extra hour of light in the evening in the summer would be pretty
cool too!
