Cheers mate for the correction, I'm not a British, I do GMT. Others
outside Britain reference GMT and not BST, I grew up with GMT and still
use GMT ....

Most Internet World Clock I've seen so far reference GMT and not BST ...
maybe you're right though, I need to go re-read NTP to get use to BST
again and again. Only that BST concept mess my head up, I grew up in a
village where you don't have to deduct 1hr out of your time, and then
add extra 1hr to your sleep again sometime later. Imagine doing overtime
at work across the period when you have to deduct 1hr off your time ...
that's my precious 1hr CCIE consultancy time ... now from where I come
from, that's loads!

I'll stick with my GMT for now, thanks for the heads up though.

Many Thanks

Yemi,

Sorry to be so ... ahem, a****y retentive, but you need to re-read NTP
:-) ;-) :-D

It is BST now, not GMT (OK, it is not summer here ... it is cold and
windy but it is called BST nevertheless).

Oh, and congratulations to Rahul!

Cheers

St Pancras
