Rene, Rene what can I say I believe you should give the time in Universal Time or GMT ( Greenwich Mean Time) and let us work it out for ourselves. See I am 10 hours ahead so not only will this affect the time it will also affect the day. And it will also be affected by where peole are on daylight saving. In any case I think I will be in bed asleep or out surfing whichever comes first.

I have noted that the forum is 6 hours minus so if you add my 10 hours this means we are 8 hours behind but a day ahead, and their is more.

1700 hrs to 2000 hours on the 8th means 0900 - 1200 hours on the 7 th which is right now so i better go.

The return of Captain Kangaroo

Hi fellow time travellers,
I worked in the Falklands in the mid 80's and we had time zones there like you've never seen. The islands themselves work on 2 time zones, Stanley follows the UK and alters its clock for summer time whilst the rest of the islands (called the camp) don't bother and stay at the winter time. To maximise daylight hours on the construction camps we had our own time. Part of my job was to drive the camp boss to Stanley 3 times per week so we would start the drive in the construction camp at 10:00 and within 1 mile the time would be 08:00. The drive to Stanley would take a while and we would arrive there about 2 hours later (on a good day) when it would be 11:00 Stanley summer time. The return trip was..........well, I'll let you work it out. The good part was the pub was open when I got to Stanley.
Cheers,
Dr. Who
