Not for goths
Posted by Rich...! under Uncategorized on October 25 2005 at 11:36 PMLocal low-cost carrier kulula.com is spearheading an initiative to try and get the government to buy-into daylight saving time for South Africa, the initiative is called “fight for light”
They state a number of reasons justifying it, some make sense, and others are a bit (very) weak, but as a whole I’m convinced.
There really is no sense wasting an hour of sunlight while I’m trying to sleep-in, and an extra hour of sun in the evening would rock. Go to their page and have a look at the facts as they present them, it’s pretty compelling.
Then if, like me, you buy into their thinking, there’s a petition you can fill in.
Sorry D’ave…!

My first comment:
We in Germany have a system of daylight saving and I can tell you it sucks. Any gain in productivity is completely eaten away by the fact that ppl sleep too long once a year and prolonged coffee breaks spent talking about how much this system sucks twice a year.
Don´t say I havn´t warned you *g*
Anyway, the real cause for a comment is:
THANKS FOR THIS BLOG, GUYS.
I will be moving to Joburg in 2 weeks and I can tell you, I had some rough sleeping problems about the crime rate and stuff. I even got myself a bulletproof vest on ebay… But then I found your Blog. Tatoos, Drinks and a Spermbirds Concert! Normal people at last! *g*
No kidding, your Blog really changed my mind to the better, I am actually looking forward to living in Joburg now.
Again, thanks for that. Keep up the good work.
