Oh, no. Every time you turn up something monumental and terrible happens.
I don’t think I have the stomach for it.

Universal Time is what it's called in some other countries, who don't refer to it as GMT.
Universal Time is what it's called in some other countries, who don't refer to it as GMT.
It's also used in engineering and IT because it's unambiguous. There's more than one Greenwich, and I've known people interpret it as Greenwich local time. So, we always refer to it as UTC.

I know ... the joke was that not only was it localised by calling it "GMT" (which I am used to and will probably continue to call until the day I keel over giving someone the time of day) ... but it was also humourously local when it became "Universal" Time.

A tragic story (slightly related to this thread) from when I was working a 12 hour shift the Friday before the clocks went forward in spring. Maybe about 7 years ago.
I spent all day telling everyone on shift to set their clocks forward when they got home in the hope that some fool would turn up at work a hour early on the Saturday morning and I would get a cheap laugh. I got 'em all believing me too.

Phew, glad I censored myself in time. :-o

Unfortunately, EVERYONE'S wife/partner warned 'em.
MY girlfriend, however, was at her mum's so I got really stoned and err.... sorta got confused.
I really can't describe the burning shame at turning up at work a full hour before everyone else.
