    It's about time! (Pun intended)

    I never thought I would see the day....this is great news!
    Reactions range from applause to concern as March 8 will be the last time most British Columbians have to change their clocks, B.C. Premier David Eby announced Monday.

    Wish the US would follow this.
    MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
    1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550

    NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

        Well the only thing negative I have heard so far as the kids will be going to school in the dark for a couple of months....leading people to say kids should be starting an hour later anyway as studies have shown kids learn better starting later in the morning ...

          We had no Daylight savings time from sometime in the mid 1940's till 1966 and best I can remember all was well. The U.S restarted it in 1966 and continuously most people I know have complained, twice pr. yr. about the having to change again. Most every yr. there is talk for a couple of weeks, around the changes, to quit it again, but then not mentioned again till the change once again is here. Not sure if our govt. will ever repeal DST again, but if ever put to a vote from our citizens, I feel pretty sure it would again be repealed.

              I've been hearing that same argument since I was a little kid . You're right . Just change school hours from 9-3 to 10-4 .... Easy and it will make significant savings in energy costs ......

                  finally read link in orig post... Are we having another controversy? It says B.C. is permanently adopting DST, Premier David Eby announced Monday. Then says that U.S. President Donald Trump expressed interest in eliminating DST. Permanently adopting or eliminating, I probably wouldn't care which, long as we stop changing twice pr. yr. Please let us decide one way or the other.

                    Yeah having to change the clock twice a year is an excruciating experience! As our forefathers so passionately chanted: "Give me convenience or give me death!"

                      I prefer motorcycles that don't have clocks on them. That’s my opinion and it aught to be yours.

                            You need to work some genuine adversity into your life, you really are having to dig deep to find things to be neurotic about!

                              I need to "work adversity into my life"?? Lol...says the guy that came here to post something negative about something that has no effect on him. That's rich.
