Dr.Dish:
So, I am confused too!!! One correction I got from Francis Borg:
"Wrong I believe. UTC is the same as GMT all year round. British Summer Time
(to confuse you even more) is one hour ahead of GMT which is still one hour
behind CET.Even worse if the wrong information is given."

The next correction:

>Hello,

>interesting.

I promise, I never will answer such a question again! Is much more confusing
