TimeOut

GMT +1 - unspectacular, sorry!

 

Hi Andrew,

you never seem to run out of ideas - probably an essential part of a moderator´s job description?

I doubt we will make it with the more simple 24 time zones as some zones are almost uninhabited like GMT -2 (Greenland) or GMT -11 (western Alaska).

Let´s see!

Kind regards,

anaesdoc

P.S. Your time zone challenge could motivate some of us to give Jules Verne´s "Around the world in 80 days" a re-read as the time zones and the international date line play an important role at the end of this book.

Time Zones

Hi All, There are 40 land-based time zones across the world. Just wondering if PuristS manage to cover all of these time zones? I most frequently inhabit GMT+10. Where are you? Andrew...  

Same here . . .

I must say that driving to work this morning the sun had broken through the cloud cover and was illuminating 4 hot air balloons floating above the city. It was a beautiful sight. No camera when you need one. :-( Andrew
