    Hmmm...

    sad and all as it may be to post this but....

    the current time is NOT 17:39 GMT, it is 17:39 BST.

    It is currently 18:39 GMT (I think or else we're an hour ahead but that's doubtful)

    Mind you don't retain that chair...

    Ok, if we're going to be anal, it should be UTC, which has replaced GMT. For clarity, I should probably also point out that the server, and so the site, is actually running on IST, or Irish Standard Time - which replicates BST almost exactly, but with "Irish" in the title - so I suppose I could use that instead. But in fact the interface here confuses matters more, because it uses plus (+) and minus (-) concatenated with the hour(s) offset relative to GMT - which should of course read UTC - as as the guidelines in the place you noticed so deftly. So if you were in Spain, it would read GMT+1. And now should read be UTC+1. Or BST+1. Or possibly IST+1. But we're not that anal, and I'm willing to take the risk that the 0.38314176245210727969348659003831% of the population that might actually notice it will understand, so we'll leave it the way it is, eh?

    Oh, hang on...
