Who was confused?
So i read that a few people were tricked by the extension of daylight saving by a whole week. It was in the paper and on the news etc but it still seems to trick a few.
Were you one of them?
(will move to polls section in a day or so...)

it's something invented for southerners so they think they actually get an hour more sunlight each day

Not at all. Nothing in our house suggested that DST ended 'early'.

they extended daylight saving here in NZ last year, 1 week earlier and 4 weeks later to change back. it doens't really bother me, i work shifts, start at 6, finish at 6 whether it's am or pm doesn't really effect it much in the summer when i go to work it's light, going home it's light. in the winter it's dark when i go to work and dark when i get home. it's a bastard if the change occurs on your shift however, it makes a 12hr shift thats already long really drag that extra hr

Heaven forbid we might want to use some sunlight after work on weekdays. I get a good 2-3 hours of waterskiing on my boat on weekdays after work in the middle of summer due to daylight saving. I have no complaints about that
