VOTE AGAINST DAYLIGHT SAVING ON MAY 16TH

CAN EVERYBODY REMEMBER TO VOTE AGAINST DAYLIGHT SAVING ON MAY 16TH.

IT WILL BE A REALLY CLOSE VOTE.

THIS MORNING WAS STILL DARK AT 7AM. IF DAYLIGHT SAVING IS VOTED IN IT WILL BE DARK DURING SUMMER EVEN AFTER 7AM!!!!!
IMAGINE GETTING UP AT 6AM TO HAVE A SWIM BEFORE WORK AND HAVING TO WAIT OVER 1 HOUR BEFORE DAYLIGHT!!!!!

IF YOU LOVE COMMON SENSE VOTE AGAINST DAYLIGHT SAVING

CHEERS

groper got completely flamed in the kiting forum for such absurd suggestions. fancy making such suggestions on a windsports forum. still cant work out if he's taking the piss. surely groper you prefer kiting/windsurfing (whatever your discipline) over swimming?

You may go "Ha ha muppet" but he has done more for the "yes" vote than anyone else on this site has (whether that was his intention or not).

Only 19 sleeps to go

and the curtains will fade from that extra sun...
the animals without watches will be confused (they will miss footy training)


on the flip side all the sharks will be confused as to what time the high speed lures will turn up

good on you Sandgroper

WA has survived to become Australias number one revenue earner without DLS-let the other bankrupt states fit in with us.

I hate it-its a PITA. ADIOS DLS-its been nice knowing you -NOT!!

Im glad we had the trial though. At least no one can now say that "we havent given it a go" or we "dont know what we are missing"

question-why are there people from NSW etc commenting on this? why would they have any interest in it unless they are living here?

If thats the case go home if you dont like it. Just like we all say about foreign minorities trying to change Aus to suit themselves.

On a serious note (my first one ever on DLS)


Yes, unlike most who bleat about DLS, I generally sail by the sun not the clock, getting home after nine does lose it's novelty after a while.

My official hours are 8-4.30 whilst being on call 24/7 (constant not rostered) also. As I'm on the road I can end up anywhere within a 150km radius from home through work everyday, my closest customer is still 50km away. If I know there is going to be a good session on that night I load the car up with windsurfing kit and take it to work.

Any comments about anti DLS voters being stupid, ignorant, backwards, a hillbilly made before the trial could almost be justified.
however
Now calling people names who will vote on their own informed opinion based on their own personal experience of DLS is just basically a load of old toss.
If Curtain companies were making record profits they would lobbying and advertising for DLS.

At the end of the 3 year trial people will vote for how it affects / benefits them and what they do,
Some people it will help them with work, some it doesn't.
Some people get some personal benefit from it, some don't.

WA is far far more than the 110x28km stretch of metropolitan area (Mandurah to up past Joondalup out to the hills)
WA is approximately 2200km x 1500km wide, given that its mostly uninhabitable but there is still a whole stack of other people out there in this wonderful state of ours which may or may not agree with your opinions about the benefits/inconveniences to them of DLS.

People will vote on DLS based on their own personal opinions of DLS. We will all have to live with the decision which the West Australian public make based on their informed choices.

If the result isn't what you want and you can't live with it, **** of to another state which may or may not have DLS, it's your choice.

ouch it's hard being serious on DLS

Only 17 to go

DLS is pointless and is a total wasted effort.

The message has been quite clear in the three previous referendums - No

And hopefully the vote will be the same again...
