We could put that dark 30 minutes in the middle of the day, call it a solar eclipse, and get a buncha news coverage. With advertising, this swap could pay for itself easily in a few minutes.
It seems that I've lost an hour as well. Compensation from the antipodean time thieves rises to two hours, plus 20 minutes for damages, and another 15 as a punitive measure.

Wait . . . ain't that yer summertime? What the hell do you want with more hot weather? You folks is goofy.
Anyway, you'll need to talk to my attorneys, Jespah and Patiodog . . . young Turks from the firm of Robb, Cheatham and Howe.
I've often wondered where this dumb belief originated. The farmers were the ones who most resisted the idea of daylight saving time when it was first introduced during World War One. Farmers have no use for this nonsense. The cows have to be milked at a given time regardless of what the clock on the wall says.
Sneaky buggers, looking atcha with their innocent moo-ey eyes, all sweet and cud-chewing and tail-swishing when beneath that exterior, under those horns, is the brain of a mastermind.
Oh yeah. It's them damn cow-farts what's causin' the methane signature to be writ large and puttin' a hole in that there oozin' layer.

I pass a dairy farm going to work. Since the weather got warm, them bovine pies makes for some tough breathing. At least the skunks that are regularly flattened out front have dodged the car wheels lately.
