I have mixed opinions about daylight savings time.
I grew up in Ireland and Ireland is continually overcast. As a child going to school in the mornings, I really appreciated the extra hour of brightness that daylight savings time afforded.
It's the same with the car-lights, it makes a difference in the morning when it is dark outside.
Now, as a parent, daylight savings time is a nuisance. I have a child who doesn't adjust well (although it improves with age) with to the sudden change in the clock and it requires that we phase him in a week or so beforehand.
All in all, I wouldn't object to daylight savings time being abolished, but I do remember fondly the benefits it brought.
