Timezones are confusing. I think the UK only standardised when the railways started up. Just look at the map to see what a mess it is. China has a single timezone and various places west of Ireland are an hour ahead of London. GMT/UTC is the nearest thing to a standard. I think we should scrap changing the clocks here twice a year. Remember Swatch time?
Hope things are good with you.
Haha! Swatch time can still be displayed by the PHP datetime format :D
