Re: [OT for Rod] was Re: ebay dumb posts



Hello Pierre,
good to see you are up and about.

Here in the West of Australia we have "daylight savings"
this saves the curtains in our windows from becoming faded
by too much sunlight.

So we have set our clocks 1 hour forward, which means I get to kick that
"serial sleeper" lazybones person who claims to be my son, out of the sack
1 hour early every morning.

Would that explain it?

Daylight Saving Information
Daylight saving was introduced in Western Australia for a three-year trial
period starting December 2006. The three-year trial gives Western
Australians an opportunity to "try before they buy". A referendum will be
held in 2009 to decide whether it should become permanent.

Daylight saving starts at 2am Western Standard Time on the last Sunday in
October, and ends at 2am Western Standard Time (3am summer time) on the last
Sunday in March the following year.

Third Trial Period Dates 2008/2009

Starts:
26 October 2008 ..... Set clocks forward one hour

Ends:
29 March 2009 ..... Set clocks back one hour




Note: Daylight saving in Victoria, Tasmania, ACT, New South Wales and South
Australia starts the first Sunday of October and ends the first Sunday in
April the following year.

Hi again, Rod

Are you sure your computer is tuned at the right time zone ?

Your post shows here marked 3:27 am (my time) and it is 2:55 am, now in
France.
Or did you invent the "faster than the light" internet ???

:-)

All the best,
Pierre
