Where I live, even our winter time isn't close to be aligned with sun time (GMT+1 though we're basically on the Greenwich meridian). Summer time is off by two hours.

Problem is, our school/work/activity schedules have been made to adapt to that, so having days centered around actual sun midday would sound like crazy talk to people. It's just because of how we already compensated for it.

So many people don't understand that the same outcome of an 'extra hour' after work could be had by shorter work hours or not having the majority of the typical office workday after noon.

9-5 was a 3|5 split. 8-5 is a 4|5 split. Treating 5 pm as the only rime to end the office workday is the fucking problem, not the sun. Changing clocks twice a year is a problem.
