BST confusion

And Pizza??????

...fingers!

(sorry, missed that one!)

I do not WANT to miss out on a hours sleep. Had precious little of it all week as it is with 3 family members ill.
Hmmmmpf, and it's raining so can't even go outside and move things about and pretend to be gardening.

pizza - FINGERS! My mum eats hers with knife and fork, think she thinks she's the queen! lol

Chopsticks are just wrong.

Fingers for pizza, chopsticks only if I'm eating at a Chinese or Japanese restaurant (used to work in the West End, near Chinatown).

And I vote for GMT - we're the home of Greenwich Mean Time, for heaven's sake! No offence, Bobleponge et amis, but I'd like my own native time zone, thanks!

Ditto and seconded and stuff

I see no sensible reason for us to use French time. If the USA can function with several time zones, why can't the EU? (in any case Portugal uses GMT/BST as well, and surely some of the more recent joiners further east use a different time as well?) It is sometimes quite awkward relying on French time when we go to Spain (most of Spain is further west than a lot of the UK). What time is used in Ireland?

They only have a single time zone in China and that's a HUGE country, really surprised me when I went but nobody even thinks about it there. Mind you, am guessing that the large rural swathes just ignore the clocks anyway and use the natural daylight indicators.
