For many people a 5 am sunrise and 7:10 pm sunset during summer is so annoying and such a waste of daylight! Especially if you are forced to work til 5:30pm. It really limits the opportunities to go outside and do things.<br />But this isn't a once off either. West Aussies voting down extended trading hours was another bizarre episode, yet excrutiating for some people who live here. This state is backwards in alot of ways.<br />The icing on the cake for me is the liquor licensing laws which prevent a person from enjoying a beer on a Sunday afternoon unless you purchase a meal. Nanny state with a capital "N".<br />I don't blame people for leaving. The thought has crossed my mind.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14951068787688712800noreply@blogger.com
