No it's not, besides a few crumdrums here & there I'd bet few if anyone really thinks about it more than a day or 2 after a switch.
Plus, if DLS was repealed people would be very pissed without that xtra hour after work in the summer time
A day is still 24 hours, I don’t think anyone gets upset at “losing an hour”. They like having the extra day light before prime time, though, I think.
Yes, it is a controversial practice. It’s not controversial as long as you get your way, and some will whine and moan until they get it.
