Saves energy. An hour less of lamplight and so on when people are normally awake.
And so the farmers don't have to get up at 3-4am in the summer or whatever. Cause farmers have to get up when the sunrises, like it or not.

I heard it had something to do with the farmers too and then my boss said it wasn't true. She claims it's so the kids won't be going to school in the dark...I have no idea nor do I care. It's only an hour.

It actually has a bunch of uses according to the goverment, but the primary driving force is economic. There are fewer accidents during daylight hours requiring fewer public resources, less electricity is used since most folks are at work and turn their AC up when they're not in the house , or turn their applicances off, schools don't require as much electricity in keeping lights on, etc. etc.


I'm not sure it works, but that's just me shrug

and it causes a two hour difference between me and australia, which is a tad inconvenient.

You mean to tell me that it's because of the farmers that the English have to endure an 11 hour time difference between them & an island country that's filled a buncha goddamned moth-munchers?
