For f... [can we swear in pit thread titles?]..ck's sake - Synchronise UK and US DST!

Further, I’ll have you know, we are no longer 50 years out of synch with the rest of Australia. By my reckoning, it’s about 1994 here, meaning we’re a mere 14 years out. We hope to have Broadband internet sometime soon, and I’m told you lot down south have some sort of “mobile phone” network happening as well, which we can look forward to in the near future.* :wink:

Dammit, you’ve stolen my thunder. I always like to add one of my favourite Queensland jokes to these threads: “Ladies and gentlemen, we have begun our descent into Brisbane, and we’ll have you at the terminal shortly. Owing to the time difference, please wind your watches back one hour and twenty years.”

Well my favorite reason for Queensland never going to DST when it was introduced in Australia is that the sun shone out of Jo Bjelke Petersen’s (at the time the Premier of Queensland) arse and HE wasn’t getting up an hour earlier for anyone.
