Cancer Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Yeah, because over here police don't believe "crazy but harmless" is a valid classification. They just shoot people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Not uniquely. There are a few other half-hour time zones, mostly in areas in Asia and the Pacific that were under British control when the zones were set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Then why not just go back to setting the watch after local noon? Because that is silly. The sun rises about 6 - 6:30 am like it should.

Cancer Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I think the push mostly comes from computer people, especially e-commerce types, to whom physical reality is merely an annoyance which must be suppressed if it cannot be made to do exactly what they think it should do.
