Time will tell who the real winners and losers are... So now I surrender to time and let the tables turn.

And when did I use a person's personal information here on the forum to discredit them make fun of them? There is only one person guilty of this. But I see that post got taken down. or I can't find it anymore. So be it then... some sins I suppose will be covered up others will not... But you are right it is a small mind indeed.

Have a great eve

I wanted to add a “print screen” of the post that disappeared but I am not going to do that. See I know it happened. You know it too. And I think for your benefit it must remain just a thought. But I am done... That said considering everything that happened history will repeat itself with someone else. Of that I am sure. It might not be here, It may well be a client or something in that line. But it will happen of that I am sure. Have a good life HR Adrian and your other friend.

Your gang won. Well it was 3 against 1 so I never had a chance.

What are you on about?

Good day everybody,

In regard to daylight savings time, I personally think it would be more difficult to implement and keep track off then what it will benefit us. I found 2 YouTube clips that explains why it creates such confusion in some countries. It is very interesting how large a time gab can become across ocean.

Even National Geographic had an interesting article on the subject;
National Geographic daylight savings time.

In terms of energy savings, Downing said, Wolff's and other studies are no longer in much dispute: It's clear that DST doesn't save energy in the big picture.

There was also a study done;
DOES DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME SAVE ENERGY? EVIDENCE FROM A NATURAL EXPERIMENT ININDIANA

Our main finding is that, contrary to the policy’s intent, DST results in an overall increase in residential electricity

A general point of view from the country that use them suggest this;

Base on the information here I feel it isn’t worth the effort. My workers will always have some degree of confusion accepting the concept and getting use to it will just result in more hours wasted.

How come it works in Namibia?

How come it works in Namibia?

Good day Adrian

Have you been to Namibia? I wouldn’t know and taking your word for it is a leap of faith. Judging by other threads and post it is a leap I am not willing to make. I had no idea how provocative you can be. This was like stepping on the proverbial landmine.

I can only conclude that if you want something to work then you can make something work. Like most aspect of business it is trial and error. I personally believe to get people use to the system will be a colossal task. If DST succeed more power to you. If it doesn't it doesn't.

I will worry about it when it happens. Till then I am more then happy to keep things as they are.

Maybe it's because Namibia are in between two time zones, like Cape Town, their time is about half-hour behind us in Gauteng and Durban?
