Keep biting M8 ..... He He

Nope I mean UTC - the time previously known as GMT.
GMT only now exists in the minds of the UK poulation as a folorn hope to somehow make us feel we still matter.
Some years ago the UK agreed to give up the responsibility of maintaining the international time measure (think it saved the Govt. of the time ?0.50p per year).
The UK had maintained this for many years hence the GMT for Greenwich Mean Time.
The French took this task over (as they have done with many of the international standard measures) and it was renamed UTC (think it means Universal Time Control - but in French).

Zulu time is used by those trying to appear mysterious and knowing - as far as I know the Zulus did not originally use the same measure of time.

Live and learn - :yo:

As I recall Zulu time was the same as GMT, I still refer to it as Zulu time as it's quicker than saying Greenwich mean time,

What time zone did they use at Rourke's drift? :dunno:

Self Flagulation ?????

Thats why I started wearing glasses in the first place:eek: ...Seems it makes ya go blind....

Though why it should make me go blind, and not all the women who seem to want to grab hold of it never ceases to amaze me.... even when they try to kiss it better, they never go blind... Its got me beat lads...:dunno:

Or is that not what you meant John ???

Permission to come aboard? I might be able to make it Saturday afternoon and would camp Saturday night. Is that last sentence a bit gay? :eek:

GMT/UTC

The UK is currently GMT +1 HR
ZULU is phonetic for the letter Z (We all knew that)
although GMT has been replaced it is still Universally accepted, and in the whole is used far more than;
UTC Universal Time Coordinate
