A debate of sunny proportions.

A bit of a topical subject today - Daylight Savings. Apparently QLD is in turmoil, as people can't decide if having daylight savings is a good, or a bad idea. I too have a few issues with it, outlined below, but I'm slightly discombobulated about the arguments coming out of the general Brisbane populous. These arguments include such anomalies as; 'It means our curtains will fade quicker', and my favourite so far; 'The cows won't know what time to wake up'.

I'm baffled by the stupidity apparent in these arguments, so would like to pose my own, very valid and well thought out arguments.

Firstly, the onset of daylight savings would mean that the temperature in the morning would be cooler in that critical period between the car and the office. This potentially means that I could straighten my hair, and not have it ruined until I leave the office for lunch, or if i eat at my desk, until I leave at the end of the day. 1 point FOR daylight savings.

Secondly, the continuance of the sunshine well into the evening, while it does give one a sense of a 'barmy British summer', it also means that for us people living in countries where it actually gets above 25 degrees, it will be stinking hot and humid well into the evening, and sleep will be more difficult. 1 point AGAINST daylight savings.

And Thirdly, The prolonging of the sunshine in the summer evenings means that for those of us who spend much of the daylight hours in their office, never actually see the sun, and end up at the end of the summer with a 'suntan' resembling a piece of Jarlsberg, the longer evenings means one thing and one thing only: More Tanning Time. Hence, 1 point FOR daylight savings.

In conclusion it seems that, when looking at my allocation of points above, daylight savings is indeed a great idea. I can only assume that the rest of the population, (minus the ignoramus who clearly has some kind of very expensive and volatile curtains on their dairy farm), agrees with me on this topic. Comments and opinions from my readers aren't needed at this point, as I'm clearly correct in my assumptions.
