Please note the time shown at the bottom of the 10/10 page is in BRITISH SUMMER TIME (BST) this is ONE hour in front of GREENWICH MEAN TIME (GMT). So for all you people in the colonies wanting to talk to the homeland Add 1 hour....
GMT remains fixed thoughtout the year and is the basis of all world timescales + / - GMT. Some dimwit decided years ago that the UK should shift 1 hour forward during the so called summer months March - October It is all to do with whem we Brits ruled the waves and invented timepieces that could keep accutate time to assist us in finding our colonies again. Que:- Rule Brittania, Brittania rule the waves......... Simon |

Also note that unlike our Queen (God Bless Her) and the Motherland, we in the colonies of North America go on Summer Time tonight, one week later than y'all did.
