Well, it seems somebody somewhere wishes it to be brighter in the evenings. Else their eyesight is going!!
It seems the main argument to resisting any change is that it creates some additional danger in the morning when the children are going to school.
So, lets counteract that claim - switch on your headlights eh??? and if you're walking, walk on the pavements (sidewalks to some) and use a torch, and reflective materials. Or better still - don't have kids. Ok, that last suggestion might not work as well. Well, it would (solves the problem) but then no more humanity!!!!! (Least there'll be peace on earth then, lol).
Tis not Cricket
So, the world cup is in doubt???
50 Overs seems to be too long-legged and is now on a sticky wicket with the Extra Cover it requires seeming to be no more. The Short leg version (of 20 overs) is taking more of a fast pace towards dominating the cricket scenery.

| Anyone say Duck??? |
The umpire, having been called Backward-square, took offence when the Maiden (over by the Gully), appealed to the silly mid-on who was actually all around her in the covers, insisted that she was single but he found her to be well wide of the mark. The bowler, having been creased up about this, is resorting to bodyline bouncers.
The Captain, having bailed out, was in the middle of a collapse when the duck entered the frey. To say he was stumped is an understatement.
Oh, thats enought of the references, it's just not cricket!!

Ahh yes, we have that "Daylight Savings Time" mischief here, 'Spring forward, Fall back' is how most folks here keep it straight.
