I really could not afford to lose an hour's sleep last night, but then even more time after work taken in reseting clocks.

PC, no just kidding. I used to think that the pc knowing when daylight saving started in Oz was a miracle.........it was quite a few years and pcs ago
Has the Productivity Commission every done a report on the economic waste of daylight saving due to the time spent clock fiddling.
ReplyDeleteLet's assume 10 million clock owners (excl Qld, WA, NT) spends 10 min twice a year changing their clocks.
That's 200 million minutes (or 3.3 million hours) wasted.
Even using a low costing of peoples time ($10 per hour), that's a cost to the nation of $33 million to change the clocks backwards and forwards each year!

I put my clock forward, and it fell off the shelf.
