  • Time Difference

    From Roger Ford@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 16 06:43:34 2023
    Ah I notice that at present there is only FOUR hours time difference
    between London and New York instead of the normal five hours.

    I guess it will stay like this until March 26 when UK clocks change
    and the five hours difference is restored.

    But I read someplace that the US time won't change anymore meaning
    that difference will go back to four hours in October when UK clocks
    will change as normal.

    Is this right?

    No, the U.S. hasn't made a decision yet.

    No, the U.S. hasn't made a decision yet.

    And probably won't. After the bill for permanent Daylight Savings Time passed in the Senate last year, a lot of pushback appeared in the press against it. And after that, no one was talking about it any more. I'm not sure what business interests support
    Standard Time in the winter, but they seem to have gotten their money's worth.

    School bus companies, for one. Stores that open early--the lighter it
    is in the morning, the more customers will come out of their burrows.
