  My /etc/localtime is pointing to /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC (it was
  originally pointing to GMT but I changed it in an effort to fix it).
 
 Shouldn't that point to /usr/share/Europe/London?

Sweet!  It worked a treat.  What puzzles me is why GMT/UTC works on my
desktop for years now, without any problem.

Thank you for your replies.  :-)

If in doubt, ask the Africans. ;-)

Strange. The timezone UTC itself isn't supposed to provide any daylight 
saving. It's just the base for all other timezones.
