Noooooooooooo! That changes as well.


You are confusing UTC/GMT with the time used in the UK. While the usual time
used in England, Wales and Scotland is the same as GMT, in the summer they
switch to BST (British Summer Time).

Didn't the switch from BST to GMT take place last weekend (October
25)? He is as correct about this as he is about his self-appointed
title of 'Ace'.


Cry me a river, boy!

I will send that married Irish woman an email about just exactly which
day/night she sets her clock back an hour.She is usually pretty busy, so
I don't know when she will reply.She is six hours ahead of my time zone,
Mississippi Coon Ass Time Zone.

Chains are not the only thing the DX ACE yanks... He won't be able to
read the dial on his radio soon!

Maybe he'll keep yanking until he just needs glasses, not go completely
