Wait North American and UK doesnt (edit: fixed gammar) even do DST at the same time? I thought that was half the point of it,so 'everyone' stays the same as always. I swear I've heard about ditching DST for years here in BC Canada but still had that week from hell earlier this month.

I guess there's an argument that UK and North America are far enough off that it doesn't matter, but I just hate time change. Actually I hate most change but this seems worse cause it's government mandated twice a year. When I was partying it was fun to have an extra hour once per year but I'm old now.

George W changed that in the early 2000's here in the US.
