They always say that daylight savings is such a great idea, I give it seven months. I find this pan-European polling interesting given the various degrees of enthusiasm for daylight saving time.

My bold prediction is that daylight saving time will be abolished in the next fifty years.

PS – I love Sweden, but my word, what kind of monster prefers the cold of winter over the warmth of summer?
