1/2 an hour and lock it.

I did surprisingly well this time.

Usually I'm over it the next day when we gain an hour but it takes 3 weeks when we lose one.

It doesn't matter anymore, but, all my life it meant working one hour longer on something till the sun went down.

We are now in “daylight saving” time. Standard time is an hour back from where we are.

Also, anyone with a brain can determine how the planet is getting hotter.
That extra hour of sunlight each day is the reason we are warming up globally. :thumbsup:

Easy. At noon,(current time) is the sun directly overhead, still rising, or falling?

An hour here and an hour there - being retired it makes little difference to me. But I’d still wish we’d bail on this policy. Can’t really see the benefit of it anyway. Never could.

I here that once retired, everyday is a Saturday too!
lol

I guess I'll have to whip out strap on my sun dial wrist watch and stare at it in the parking lot for an hour or two to find out.

I just want to know what the "real" time is.

A bit of New Zealand history....my Grandfather used to tell that the Gubbermint buggered things up before WW2.

From Wiki....
6 Nov 1927 - Daylight Saving Time Started
When local standard time was about to reach
Sunday, 6 November 1927, 2:00:00 a.m. clocks were turned forward 1 hour to
Sunday, 6 November 1927, 3:00:00 a.m. local daylight time instead.

Sunrise and sunset were about 1 hour later on 6 Nov 1927 than the day before. There was more light in the evening.

Daylight Saving Time History in New Zealand

New Zealand first observed Daylight Saving Time in 1927.
New Zealand has observed DST for 67 years between 1927 and 2020 (DST in at least one location).
Previous time with no Daylight Saving Time was 1973

The Inventors of DST
New Zealand was the home of one of the pioneers of DST, but the seasonal change was not adopted in the country before 1927.

The history of DST in New Zealand started more than 20 years earlier. In 1895, the scientist George Vernon Hudson presented a paper to the Wellington Philosophical Society advocating seasonal time adjustments. The society members ridiculed his idea. However, in 1909, the parliamentarian Thomas Sidey proposed to move the clocks 1 hour forward in New Zealand’s summer period to allow for an extra hour of daylight in the evenings.

Confusing Changes
The Summer Time Act 1927, set the clocks forward 1 hour, but the measure was unpopular. The Summer Time Act 1928 reduced the time change to 30-minutes instead. After the Summer Time Act 1929 went into effect, the DST period lasted from the 2nd Sunday in October to the 3rd Sunday in March. In 1933, it was extended to run from the 1st Sunday in September to the last Sunday of April.

In 1941, during World War II, clocks were set forward 30 minutes, increasing New Zealand's offset from GMT to 12 hours. The time change was made permanent by the Standard Time Act 1945.

Modern DST in New Zealand
New Zealand's current DST schedule was established by the Time Act 1974. The measure proved so popular that the start and end dates of the DST period were extended several times. Following the Daylight Time Order 1990, DST ran from the 1st Sunday in October to the 3rd Sunday in March.

In 2007, New Zealand’s Minister of Internal Affairs, Rick Barker, announced that the DST schedule was to be extended further. The decision was made after a survey and petition found that people favored an extended DST period. DST in New Zealand is today observed from the last Sunday in September to the 1st Sunday in April.

USA started in 1918 and still used in 2020
