Reply to: Is CUK "Timeist" ?

[Ardesco]

Look at the bottom of the page and it says



Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought there were other time zones as well.

However, according to CUK, all times are GMT.

Is CUK a Borg conspiracy and have they assimilated all other time zones ?

Is Zeity involved ?

We need to know !

If you go to User CP -> Edit Options you can change your time zone so that CUK is not shown in GMT.

HTH

But, as Al Murray says, we decide what time it is all around the world. We (the British) created GMT which means the Germans don't sit down for their lunch, until we say its 1 o'clock!

Alert

Dublin is the only city in Western Europe to have 2 cathedrals.

OH SH*T they have moved London, Liverpool and I can't be bothered to think of any other Cities out of Western Europe..............

Which sounds quite impressive until you go there and realise that they are still seeing in the year 1900.

I love the sound of bitter expats.....

You guys are so yesterday.

But I digress. Our most easterly city is Gisborne, which was the first city to see the new millenium.

Hence GMT is now actually Gisborne Millenium Time.

It's a little known fact that New Zealand is the first country (of any decent size anyway) to see the sun every day - hence while you guys are grovelling around on a cold Thursday afternoon I'm already tucked up in bed on a Summery Friday morning.

Well putting my extra large pedants hat on (the normal one isn't fit for this point) to be accurate all times ARE GMT, but some are GMT +/- a number of hours appropriate to the position on the planet relative to Greenwich.

Also worthy of note is that said numbers aren't restricted to integral values: for example, Newfoundland is UTC-3:30

UTC

In fact, time is one hellish complex matter.

UTC: a fine Anglo-French compromise.

English: CUT.
French: TUC.

So let's call it something like neither but vaguely reminiscent of both.

I though Liverpool boasted two cathedrals.

Roman Catholic: Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral
Anglican: Liverpool Cathedral

Shoot. sorry.

[TykeMerc]

Nah, UTC was invented long after GMT at least that's my opinion and no quantity of pesky factual evidence will change it

Dublin is the only city in Western Europe to have 2 cathedrals. Both are Protestant.

No really, they are different.

Ireland kept Dublin Mean Time until the Easter Rising in 1916, and only then, with independence within its grasp, adopted GMT. Truly, the Irish are different.

That’s quite cool.

Apparently in the Gambia they have GMT too. A journalist asked a taxi driver to confirm that it really was Greenwich Mean Time and the taxi driver answered ‘no man, Gambia Maybe Time!’
