Description

Time? Before the train, it was local time. The railway made sure that Belgium was one of the first in the world to introduce a standard time, the Greenwich time (GMT). Temps? Avent la ligne c'était l'heure local. Avec le train l'heure standard est venu en Belgique, un des premiers au monde. L'heure de Greenwich était choisi (GMT).

Merci pour ce rappel du GMT, il y a beaucoup de gens qui croient que cela fait des siècles que nous fonctionnons ainsi

a former client of mine was from Belgium and her father was a master clock repairer/maker. a customer brought him a clock hoping he would purchase it which he did. after several months she returned to his shop/store. she seen a clock that was so beautiful and wanted to purchase it. after he told her that the clock was hers already previously , she was very surprised. she did purchase it paying far more than than she sold it for.
