Don't like the dark evenings!
Did exactly the same trip to the garden centre at the same time last night as I did the previous week, last week was in the light and it felt like the afternoon, this week it was pitch black and I was subconsciously rushing because it felt much later!
Plus the traffic was much much worse, but I guess that was because the previous week was half term!
Mark, did you check out ther weird white Santa? That slightly freaked me out.
I don't know if its a psychological thing but my jorney's home from work just seem to take much longer now its dark. I know it was half term last week but my journey feels like its more than doubled in time when in reality it hasn't changed at all.
No, didn't see it! Although I'll be going back pretty soon to take back this stupidly noisy air pump, so I'll take a look!Quote:

If going over to CET means that there's even a little light before I leave work, then it's worth doing IMO! I don't really care about travelling to work in the dark, I tend to be tired in the evening, after a day at work, I can cope with darkness better in the morning.
But it's suddenly being dropped into darkness on your commute that's the problem. If we didn't have DST or it ended earlier then this wouldn't be as much of an issue because the transition would be gradual and people would get used to it. The last time I drove when it was properly dark was back in August when we drove down after work to get the ferry down in Dover which was back in August. Of course if people get dropped into pitch black darkness at a time of the year where there's often rain (it's rained the last 3 nights on my commute) then there's going to be trouble.Quote:
