Daylight savings time is summer time. Sounds like you would like to run on daylight savings time year-round (as would I).
- jstsch 11y agoDitto. Here in NL the transition from DST to regular time is super abrupt. Yes, a few more hours of sun in the early morning, but it means no light in the evenings at all (sunrise at 8:20, sunset at 16:40 - so heading to work in the dark and leaving the office in the dark, bleh).

Most Europeans (and probably americans?) would definitely benefit from shifting their timezones by 1h and keeping it there. Hell, Central European Time could probably shift by 2h, the timezone goes from Spain to Poland, Warsaw currently gets sundown at 1530! (Lille which is roughly the same latitude gets sundown at a more respectable 1647)
- vetinari 11y agoThe fun is, that in Warsaw the delta between CET and solar time is much less, than in Lille.

(Yes, dailymail, but at least they have a nice maps).
