But it means you spend more of your waking hours in daylight (unless you're a postman or milkman), which has both health and environmental benefits. That leaves the question of the problems caused by the twice yearly changeover, which can easily be eliminated by running an hour ahead all year round, something that was tried in the UK some 40 years ago and abandoned. Of course, the whole thing of the tagline came about because of the name, you are not saving daylight at all. In the UK, it's called Summer Time, probably because that means we can tell when it's summer by checking the clock settings :) -- Neil Bothwick UNILINGUAL: American.
