Central Standard Time (Greenwich Mean Time minus 6 hours). As you can see in your post, you're in England (near Greenwich), you sent your message at 10:15am local time. And in the subject line 'osity time stamped the message 04:14, which is (almost) 10:15-6. (Your watch is fast?) But, things get confusing with things like "Daylight Saving Time," and strangely drawn regional borders. [Like they usually don't want to split a city even if it lies right on a meridian.] So, there are quite a few calculators available on the web. http://www.web-search.com/timezone.html http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedform.html I'm hitting the "Post Reply" button right at 7:04am Central Daylight Saving Time.

Which now doesn't make any sense at all, because the 'osity number is an hour off. I'm on Central Daylight Saving Time here, not CST. Now I'm really confused...

When it's 13:27 CST Sunday here at R'osity, it's 02:37 Monday here. I'm a day ahead, but PC is more ahead than the rest of us. (*

My god! So Star is 13 hours in front of Rosity time, I am 6 and I think Misha is bang on the nail. Unless it's daylight saving time, I think :O)
