BG> You're as bad as Joh Bjelke-Petersen.  So where is this extra hour
BG> suddenly appearing from, I wonder?  Out of thin air, perhaps?

RS> There *IS* an extra hour at the cheapest STD rates in the morning
RS> before the phone rates change to the highest rate for the day.

BG> Oh really?

Yes, really. Even you should have the mental horsepower to
be able to grasp that when the time the phone system starts
charging at the peak rate has been shifted an hour towards
midday, that gives another hour at the cheap rate in the morning.

BG> Presumably this is the same extra hour which faded everybody's curtains,

Nope, the sun and curtains arent affected by clock time at all. The
time of day the phone system changes from the cheap rate to the peak
rate does affect the number of hours in the morning at the cheap rate tho.

BG> What an absolute load of crap.  You country types are weird.

Poor old Bill. Guess who looks a complete dill ? |-)

And even you should have noticed that a block of units in Wollstonecraft
aint exactly what you might call the country. Poor old Bill.
