Ahhh although we've had some cr4ppy weather recently, has anyone noticed at 5pm now its still a little light, and not pitch black anymore.

The daylight commute home is coming, yayyyyyyyyyyy :) (1min-2min per day increase in light time :D)

What we pointed out at work was that it had started staying lighter in the afternoon, but isn't getting lighter any earlier in the mornings yet. Or at least none of us in my area have noticed it yet.

Shouldn't there be an equal lightening at both ends of the day?

Not quite IIRC. It's to do with the inclination of the Earth's axis to the ecliptic (http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/omd?ecliptic)................

No not noticed. Arrive to work at 7ish still dark. Leave work 6ish or later still dark.

As far as I am concerned we don't have daylight accept at the weekends.
