Think this is actually pretty cool.
 
Can we do the same for student villages in the UK? I'd have loved to have seen the sunlight when I was a student.
 
^Funniest post I've seen in a looooong while!

For those who didn't read the news article see this bit from the bottom.

Small time differences are hardly unique, however.

Canada's Newfoundland province is half-an-hour out of step with other Atlantic provinces.

Pakistan is only half-an-hour behind India, while Nepal is a mere 15 minutes ahead of its large southern neighbour.

Western Australia and South Australia observe a 90-minute time difference across the state boundary.

However, the remote border town of Eucla and the surrounding area, home to a few hundred people, operates on its own time zone, 45 minutes ahead of Western Australia and 45 minutes behind South Australia
