    To me, in summer, it would make far more sense to all start work early, knock off during the hottest part of the day then go back to work late in the day.
    I realize this may not work for every industry but maybe most.

    Not even most unfortunately- think of all the people that commute for an hour each way to work - that’s most people in most Cities so most people overall. It takes me 30 to 45 minutes each way depending on whom manages to crash in the freeway first, but I already leave home at 6am and get home at 6.30pm or later so I’m not about to make that day any longer but taking a couple of hours off in the middle of the day.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    Didn't think about that.
    My commute is 5 paces.

    Mine is three paces to where the pile of paperwork is.

    Then it’s out on the road,in the traffic to get to jobs.

    Wet Wet Wet?

    BOM declares La Niña alert, signalling strong chance of another sodden summer

    Be alert not alarmed perhaps? "Renewed cooling in the tropical Pacific Ocean and models indicating La Niña is likely during spring and early summer have prompted the BOM to raise the El Niño Southern Oscillation Index scale to "alert", the last step before an official La Niña."

    I like the rain usually. A short 40km Bike ride on Saturday MAMIL style, was wet then hail then wet I was not feeling the love
