Yes, England and Scotland do have Daylight Savings, but they’re thinking of getting rid of it. That’s because it was started during wartime, and it doesn’t look like we need it any more!
We usually change our clocks over here a week ahead of the States (which can be pretty annoying when you’re trying to phone your family in the States without waking anyone up).  |

do ya’ll do daylight savings? Ummm, use the proper spelling, Texas. Yes Texas is a "whole other country", and yes we still retain the right to secede from the nation if we so choose, but last time I checked we were still a member of the United States, sending tax dollars and delegates to Washington D.C. as well as receiving aid for roads, education and defense.
As for Texas and D.S.T., we do participate. Most of Texas is in the Central time zone, but a small part out in the western panhandle is in mountain time. |
