That's amusing the next time change is scheduled to be on our last day in the EU.Hi there
I think one of the Ben Bova science fiction books had a Navarro Indian as first person on Mars and instead of prepared politicians speech he used the Yá’át’ééh word !! surprising people back on Earth.
However without conceptual Yesterday / Today / Tomorrow etc it must be nigh on impossible to get any sort of large scale commercial transactions or sensible contract law done --- also if I pay with a Credit Card in a reservation shop do I actually ever have to pay the bill !!!!..
Seriously it's great people have and keep their traditions but you have to co-exist these days with all sorts of things unless you are 100% self sufficient and don't need anything from outside. This necessarily means some sort of compromise - but you don't have to give up the essential part of the culture.
@CountMike -- SP3 install on an XP VM with old fashioned HDD -- 20 Mins -- your HDD's etc must use thick treacle or Molasses as oil on their bearings !!!!
@Anak --EU (not political argument here just fact) is scrapping the annual change -- up to the individual member states whether they keep DST year round or current time zone ---- northern countries would probably keep current time, more southern ones would go for DST year round -- each country can choose. The odd ball will as always be UK who always confuses everybody (but I think it will be out of EU by the time that change is implemented).
Iceland keeps current timezone all year round.
