This isn't my idea, but it's a really good one. I'm sorry I don't know who to credit for it.
Instead of doing the daylight savings stuff at 1 AM on Sunday, why don't we do it on Friday at 1 PM?
Think about it. Once a year you'd get a two hour lunch, as 1 PM magically changes back to
12 PM. Likewise, once a year you'd have a Friday afternoon that is shortened by one hour, when 1 PM suddenly becomes 2 PM.
It's so clever it almost seems unfair. Wage-earners might disagree, but salaried as I am, I think this is a swell idea.

And in the spring, you could spring ahead on Friday at 4:00 pm. |

UK readers may wish to speculate on the effect this would have on Railtrack and the train operating companies. |

What a fine idea. I don't think this is likely to have any significant effect on the railway system, as it is already shambolic beyond all imagination. How much worse could it get??? |

This would wreak total havoc with international trade. The main reason for a 0100 change is to minimize the effects of having an extra/missing hour in the working day. And how about recording events? 1235 the Second? |

'Shambolic'. I like that... |
|
| |
...and there's always someone who stays up until 2 AM just to move the clock (well, only a true dumbass would actually 'move' the clock 'forward' or 'backward') |

What about third shift? Seems that they get the raw end of the deal... |

Much better if we have a two hour lunch everyday |
