How To Change Your Clock with Daylight Savings
I don’t often get a good laugh from the local newspaper but the “NO” campaign against daylight saving in Western Australia gave me one today - the headline in the print edition is Resetting Clocks and Radios Upsets Daylight Saving Opponents !
Yes you read that right - its “inconvenient” to change your clocks forward one whole hour! Words fail me so I turn to Liberal MP Matt Birney who says “If the biggest problem for the No campaign is having to turn their clocks forward by one hour than we are all in trouble.” That’s possibly why the YES to daylight saving campaign may actually win this - you see all the young people in the state actually know how to change their digital clocks - cool eh!
But for those who are struggling with concept if you want to know how to reset your clock lets do a step by step…
- Is your clock digital or analogue (if its got hands its analogue).
- If its analogue you pull out the little button on the side- the same one you wind it up with - and change the time.
- If its digital you will need to go to time set or something similar function - change the time and then hit enter or confirm or end to go back to normal display mode.
- Congratulations - you now know how to change the time - well done!
The other issues people have is confusion (no kidding), getting kids to go to bed (try developing some parental authority). It causes more traffic accidents as well - I really don’t make this stuff up. Oh and they get more tired because of the dislocation of timezones on the body (try taking an international flights if you want to experience jetlag - anything less than 4 hours makes absolutely no difference at all!)
This blog is still promoting that West Australians Vote YES to daylight saving on the 16 May poll!
