Long time lurker -

We live ON the 0 degree meridian - i.e. our LOCAL time IS GMT (UT/UTC/Zulu
- what ever) so the sun crosses the meridian (due south) at or around noon
when we are on GMT. i.e. daylight is evenly spread round noon (middle of
the day!!) So leave the bugger alone. quit mucking with it - it give me
jet lag twice a year and no nice holiday either!

As I say we are at (or around) 0 degrees so lets have real local time -
sun is due south at noon - i.e. GMT

There was a time when Portugal - west of us - was on CET and that was
STUPID, talk about dark mornings, light nights!!even worse in the summer

The nomad - voting for any party that will leave the bloody clocks on GMT
12 months of a year!
