Default what's the time were you are

Whilst one MLU person goes to bed the next one awakens on the other side of the world.
Time is referred to by the Greenwich meridian time (GMT)
After googling time zone this comes up:

GMT
-8 pacific standard time for Canada
-7 mountain standard time for Canada
-6 central standard time for Canada
-5 eastern standard time for Canada
0 Greenwich meridian time for Great-Britain
+1 middle European time for Holland
+8 Australian western standard time for Australia
+9.30 Australian central standard time for Australia
+10 Australian eastern standard time for Australia

There are more but that's to much for now

So it's now 19.11 hours in Holland
And 11.11 hours mountain in Canada
And 3.11 hours (the next day) western in Australia

Just thought it would be interesting to know

Wim

Only trouble is that this site is timed at GMT, but is still running 3 hours fast......so trying to work out what time someone overseas has posted a message, means a bit of calculating

Mate, you can adjust that in your personal options to eliminate confusion.
