Default 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...)

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
