Time Zones
What's your favorite, and what's your least favorite?
I have only lived in EST and PST. I like where I live in Michigan, it's one of the furthest West points of the Eastern Time Zone. Which means in the summer, sunsets can happen as late as 10pm.
Television is geared towards the east coast audience (prob cause most people in the country live in EST), but that's about the only benefit I can think of.
When I lived in PST, the thing I hated the most was football started at 10am on Sundays, and I worked nights. So I would wake up in time to catch the Sunday Night game.
I imagine Mountain time to be the worst, just because the fewest # of people live in it.

First 15 years of my life I grew up in EST. Then from age 15 on I've lived in locations that were CST. Can't complain about Central Time. I hardly watch TV anymore but the upside about CST is night time shows come on an hour earlier which makes a bigger difference than you'd think. The "downside" is when they drop the ball in Times Square I have to wait another hour for it to actually become the New Year.
Other than these two things, there's absolutely no difference at all between living in EST and CST.

I've actually been working on a top ten list of my favourite and least favourite time zones.

people have been 'thinking' about it for as long as i can remember (and probably longer than that). usually farmers and scottish people.

we switch to BST during the summer (GMT+1). some people argue that we should stay on BST all year round.

yes it should. the change is pointless.

actually, maybe jon is talking about the uk possibly using a time signal based off an atomic clock in paris? i just saw something about it on the one show. i guess our actual timezone(s) wouldn't change, though.
