Great song for a cynical old Brit more into old British Rock than Country. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=alan+jackson+it%27s+five+o%27clock+somewhere. The downside is it's always 9am-5pm somewhere and I've often been working at midnight videoconferencing Canberra or Chicago talking to wide awake and fresh people! The other potential downside is the sun is always below the yard arm on some Royal Naval Ship somewhere, (or at least was during Empire era), so there was always a drunken British sailor somewhere. (Nowadays more likely a tourist "larger lout"). The only answer is for the whole world to use GMT as the only time zone. as we superior people do in Navlist. (Ok, UTC if you insist) Most of you will have to drive around and work in the dark. But I'll be alright jack. Sleep well.

Besides that, it would spoil the value of the exercise! Stan
