We are trialing DS here in Western Australia. Dad hates it. Mum hates it. Grandad hates it. half the bloomin state hates it. I love it, why? Because I get an extra modelling hour before dark!

Chas, I grew up with it, so it's really not a big deal where I live.
Only problem is some folks just can't remember SPRING==Forward..... FALL==BACK.

Only prob is that because you folks down south had to do this earlier (and we in Canada followed), its not spring when you change the clocks now. But I guess 'winter forward' doesn't have the same ring to it.

Personally I love it. More daylight in the evenings after a long dark winter is okay by me.
