I can relate UTC, aka GMT to my times. What the heck do _you_ mean by
CST? In this country, it's GMT+9:30. Or 10:30.
Sorry, That is Central Standard Time.
Thanks. We use that term to describe South Australian time, wne it's not
Central Summer Time.
GMT - 6
It actually doesn't matter to me, but I think that when one has
something important to say that it's done in terms _everyone_
understands. If I say it's 08:58 WST here, most people will either have
no idea what mean, or interpret it in local terms.
When someone uses American timezones, the best I can manage is "I know
it's not our time, and it's not GMT." Atlanta, I recall (from the
Olympics), is 12 hours away, but I have to think about which day.
Yesterday, I think.
