Falkland Islands will remain on summer time throughout 2011
Falkland Islands will remain on ‘summer time’ throughout the whole of 2011 on a trial basis announced the local government.
The Executive Council has agreed that “on a trial basis during 2011, Government clocks will not go back this winter. This means that the Falkland Islands will remain on “summer time” throughout the whole of 2011” says the official release.
Calendars currently indicate that clocks will go back one hour at 2am on 17 April 2011. Those indications should be ignored.
The release enumerates the advantages that will be gained from the trial including more time to contact UK and Europe during the working day, and lighter evenings during the winter.
“Practical arrangements are being made to ensure this information is widely disseminated here and abroad, and further notices will be published in due course to help remind the public that they do not need to put their clocks back this year”.

Think, “Carpe Diem” no point in waiting.
man!!!you always waste your time with your crap comments !!!
I think that Think has realised that the Islanders no longer look to the Southern Cone as a source of business, trade, or services, and that they aren't upset about it; this is just the right conditions for the Islanders making themselves more self sufficient, self reliant, and self dependent, an excellent way to build a psyche for self determination.
This is bad news for Argentina, since there is no way they can hope that the Islander population will ever consider adopting Argentine Sovereignty, as all links, both business and social, are effectively being cut by Argentine actions.
Think, you sure you've thought things through properly?
“British soverignty over the Falkalnds is one such example.”
Here! here! Beef... you tell them...
It's YOUR colony!!
Tell the UN Decolonization Committee while you're at it, save us the trouble.
you waste your time with your comments every time! lol
Falkland Islands is a part of UK since Jan 1/1983 ,not c0lony !
What they tell us and what they tell themselves are two different things. You know what I'm saying, don't you Brits? ;-)
You prefer the union jack over the “Falklands” flag, don't you?
You feel more British than the Brits in the UK, precisely because of Argentina's intention, it's reversed psychology... we question your rights, your values and your whole society... so in response you reach further into your origins than you normally would.
But you come here an pretend otherwise, you are... “independent” and “nothing to do with the UK Argies!!”.
Bullshit... you're as plain and obvious as a piece of paper, you're no mystery to us Kelpers. Your isolation makes you dumb and naive, and you assume we can't see through your lies. Think again.
Wow, that's quite a rant on an inconsequential story Martin.....who took the jam out of your doughnut?
And still.... our brave flag flies high and proud over these, our beautiful, resource rich, Falkland Islands.
