Sounds more like my country has fewer time zones than fifteen-degree chunks of longitude. Which didn't prevent people from living their life by the sun.

- lb1lf 7y agoWe do here in Norway; I am in the GMT zone at 6 degrees east, while in the extreme east of the country, they're squarely in GMT+2 at 30 degrees east. All of the country is in GMT+1. The difference between standard and solar time is quite pronounced, especially during DST.
- aasasd 7y agoDifficult for me to sympathize in this case, considering how you managed to squeeze both Sweden and Finland away from oil and fish, and how I almost wept when paying for bus between cities in Norway.
- lb1lf 7y agoFun fact - we offered the Swedes commercial rights to sectors in the North Sea as a trade for Volvo stock; the Swedish secretary of commerce basically said 'Hell, no!" at the last minute and backed out of the deal. Edit: It wasn't the Secretary of commerce but the Volvo general assembly which turned the deal down. My bad.
- aasasd 7y agoWell, Volvo should probably outlast those oil reservoirs and the oil dependence. And possibly the fish too.
