Dear John, John ,Troy, Fernando et. al. In my case Internet time is that time between 6pm(local) and 8am(local) when the teleco charges are less per minute. With prime surf-time being between midnight(local-civil)Friday and midnight (local-civil)Sunday when the charges are least ( about a loaf-of-bread per minute.) Regardless of when lunch-time is in the big apple !!
The bill that the teleco sends me each month is much more important than any other Bill ! So watch-out anyone sending big attachments. Atleast the time on my dial is free. (see, I am trying to be on-topic!) Now to the point of this missive : The last gasp of a dying ( u mean dead ) British empire is/was GMT.(also dead). The UT thing is an international got-up consortium thingy. Dont blame that on us English, please :-) we have enough crosses to bear as it is. I dont want to start another 100-year war <G> but when was the last time you heard of the Paris meridian, whoosh -->>> Have fun, Malcolm. in SW England, happily my ancestors are not English !
