Actually Maggie, in Norway they will be asking a representative sample of the population their opinions. Typically Scandinavian. Any proposed changes in regulations or legislation are usually sent out to the relevant groups for feedback - a so-called 'hearing'. Something like changing summer/winter time concerns everyone, so anyone can send in a comment on the proposal. Don't ask me who gets to read all these comments, poor devils.

The difference in daylight between summer and winter is a bit more pronounced here. Tomorrow the sun rises at 7.28 and sets at 16.34. In London, it rises at 6.45 and sets at 16.41.

At Christmas, the sun rises here (near Oslo) at 9.20 and sets at 15.15. So if we had summer time, it wouldn't rise until 10.20. Urgh.

Up at the cabin at midsummer, it rises at 3.30 or so, and sets at 23. But it never really gets quite dark then. Strange.
