Don't forget the clocks tonight

Right guys, those in Europe and possibly also in the USA you have an extra hour in your scratcher tonight - Europe reverts to UTC+1 hour and the UK goes back to UTC at 0200 on Sunday morning.........................

What's UTC? Well it's what we used to call GMT but the dammed Frenchies felt left out of things and thought that the zero meridian should pass through Paris so a small compromise was made and they were allowed to have Universal Coordinated Time instead and we were alowed to let the Greenwich Meridian stay passing through Greenwich, a district of London where the Royal Observatory is located....................... but most folks still just call it GMT and that really gets the French annoyed! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
