Used to hate being on nights with this, bastard day staff never came in half hour earlier to compensate either.

its an old hat for saving electricity and obviously money..who cares our health >:(

Its so out dated now i thought the government was going to stop altering the clocks!

Which is more useful to you daylight at 6am or at 5pm? Personally I would like to see the clocks 1 hour later all the year round. But I'm sure the people in lightly populated Highlands of Scotland would disagree, where in the very North it would not get light until 10am.
Ukraine is unfortunately very similar to the UK, where they are only just inside the +2 hours time zone, but people do seem to get up and go to bed earlier, probably where village life means letting out the chickens, duck, geese and turkeys at first light.

I hate this time of year. If I had the resources I'd be off the Spain. Bugger it. ::)

the law/rule makers neither care about the villagers nor your preferences.. the goal is to make more money buy saving electricty.. purely..

will anyone bet ;D
"The idea of daylight saving time was first conceived by Benjamin Franklin in 1784 during his stay in Paris. He published an essay titled “An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost of Light” that proposed to economize the use of candles by rising earlier to make use of the morning sunlight."

I have to say, working nights is a pretty effective cure for SADS... ::)
End up suffering with it all year round. The positive effect of this is that you get used to it. The downside being you can never work earlies again, as it damn near kills you :-\

and continues..
"
DST was first adopted to replace artificial lighting so they could save fuel for the war effort in Germany during World War I at 11:00pm (23:00) on April 30, 1916. It was quickly followed by Britain and many countries from both sides, including the United States. Many countries reverted back to standard time post-World War I, and it wasn’t until the next World War that DST would make its return to many countries in order to save vital energy resources for the war.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt instituted year-round DST in the United States, called “War Time” during World War II from February 9, 1942 to September 30, 1945. The law was enforced 40 days after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and during this time, time zones were called “Eastern War Time”, “Central War Time”, and “Pacific War Time”. After the surrender of Japan in mid-August 1945, the time zones were relabeled “Peace Time”.
Daylight saving was first recognized as an energy saving aspect during World War II when Double Summer Time was applied in Britain which moved the clocks two hours ahead of GMT during the summer and one hour ahead of GMT during the winter."
are we still in war :D ;D

I'd swap you ..... I hate afternoons. You're waiting to go into work, and then traffic at that time of day makes your journey twice as long as it would be at 5 in the morning ;)

so if you start work on Saturday night at 6pm and finish at 4am do you get paid for 10 hrs or 9 as 4am is now 3 am?
-
You get paid 10 as you do when the clocks go forward.
-
Depends entirely on the duck you work for :-\
One firm used to pay 12 hours flat in the autumn, and eleven hours in the spring on the basis that it averaged out ::) we got paid for a forty hour week 7-7 4on, 4off, so actual pay depended on whether it was a four or five week month, the fact that that shift pattern actually averages 42 hours per week notwithstanding :-X. One bloke kicked off so they paid the extra hour, but the following spring they adjusted his roster to ensure he was working, the deducted that extra hour from his wage at overtime rate. Onanists >:(
Another firm I worked at always paid the full 12 hours, 6-6, autumn and spring, with an hours overtime in the autumn. Which was nice. Shame they got totally shafted by Unite >:( more Onanists > ( :-X

When contracting and working over the clock change, I used to get paid 12 hours for working 11 hours as the clocks went forward, but got paid 13 as the clocks went back. At Halls cough sweets, production didn't start till 6 o'clock on Sat evening so we went in a 7 o'clock as the clocks went back so we worked & got paid for 12hrs but also got paid for 12 when the clocks went forwards.
