You're off the hook until March 26th, 2006. And those of us who have tried without success to explain the difference between GMT and local time in the UK will get to relax, knowing that people are unlikely to misuse GMT for almost five months.

Aye, the problem for CEST and CET has gone away for some months too now.

Was always funny to tell the raid leader he's an hour late.

But there is about a one second difference between GMT and UCT at the moment, so you need to wait for the leap-second on 31/12/2005 until then you might turn up for the raid just over half a second early/late. :daft:
