      We call standard time winter time here. I just complained about it to my wife yesterday, that we are NOT switching to winter time. We are switching back to standard time.

      But everybody calls it winter time.

        It’s not weird considering that historically it has been the standard time and only later the daylight saving time idea (aka summer time) was introduced. Plus on the equator you don’t really need them as such and on the southern hemisphere they’d be the opposite.
