Hi! Miles,

No, no change.  No DST at all.  There has been some 'talk' of another
attempt to introduce it in recent times; that may be a fresh drive by more
immigrants from the southern states, or, the government doing a what-if
exercise at the media's expense.  :)

Every time I look at my statement above ("too much...sunlight"),
I keep thinking that it might read wrongly for some folks.  If I could add
that calling any given chunk of daylight by another name, producing the
effect by which people are exposed to more sunlight in a typical day, then,
it's closer to explaining my original intent in the statement.  We're
already subject to -the- highest rate of skin cancer in the country, if not
the world.

Cheers,
Paul.
