Last few weeks are miserable, go to work in the dark, (can't see anything out my window) and go home in the dark. Don't see daylight from Monday to Friday. By the end of Jan there is a wee bit of light on the way home. Edited December 21, 2014 by johnnie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALBANACH Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Got to say its one of the most difficult things that I have had to get used to moving down to Australia, middle of summer and the sun goes down just after 7pm. I mind fishing up to 11at night on the loch in front of my house in Harris as a kid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindimoo Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Let's also be mindful of our friends who suffer from SAD. People make fun of it - a bit like man flu. It's real and it is a crisis filled few weeks for some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 That's a great time to clear off. Maybe in years to come once we're freed from the school timetable... We've done it 3 of last 4 years, instead of wasting money on Christmas presents we don't need, book a wee week in the sun in January. Fuerteventura for us.

Orraloon Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 And the sun sets about 20 minutes later in Glasgow than it does in Aberdeen. So Weegies always get more daylight at the end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) Nope because the shrivel walleted eastcoasts get much more sunshine than the west coast despite getting less daylight. The West coast is constantly shat on by the atlantic weather system ( see Greenock), the east coast, especially Moray, benefits from the precipitation effect (IIRC) and so is much drier and sunnier, albeit colder.

You would also need to factor in the tendency of a large proportion of Weegies to stay in bed until 1100am, so they never see the sun rise.
