Now I understand why my company keep 2 wallwatches (local and mothercompany time) people are to dumb to subtract 3h and have the other time. When we mix saving time it becomes a nightmare... When I say mtmy timezone is GMT-3 people always ask the time -..-" |
We know what it is, it's just we only live in it for 6 months of the year and assume the full years is GMT for us :p

Wasn't talking about brits in particular but people in general. Every month people ask when npd starts and is AlwAys written in EST (or equivalent, which no one is mandated to know but can google) and GMT which is the Standard time to all timezones so everyone that watched half a geograph class should know.

Heh, I know I look at this thread each month, see GMT and assume the numbers were due an hour ago :p
GMT is Greenwich Mean Time, given that Greenwich is in London, it's kinda a good reason as to why people assume it's whatever time it is in the UK/London even if they're not from here.
