    As in everything time-related, the US is behind Europe. We changed last week (and it was your very page, timechange, that let me know before the newspapers remided everyone!).

    Only in France, the name is much more logical: l'heure d'été ("summer time" -- it's even a pun in English!). There aren't too many French things that I feel that way about, so props to them on this. I never can remember whether we're "saving" daylight or on "standard" time...

    Very true. My particular group of pages got hammered this time: something like 9,000 visitors in the last three days of March. I still haven't checked April stats; will do so after the weekend.

    Aletia needs to post when they change there times

    I'm in AU and our daylight savings began with Europe.

    So I had to alter all my script time stuff. But if/when Aletia changes I'll need to fix something up again!

    I live in Sweden and we changed this weekend, here it's called summertime, and in the winter we have standardtime or normaltime.

    Sweden should have "summertime" during the winter to attract more tourists
