    GMT. The clue's in the name. We get to tell the world what time it is, whether they like it or not. Even the EU can't change time without asking our permission first...

        GMT is the time zone - which the UK is in only half the year. It's UTC that tells the world what time it is.
        Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

          No more than the world having different timezones does already.

            Of course you are technically correct, I was simplifying things for the benefit of our Russian friend.

              There's also the annual call in the UK that we should stay on BST all year round and scrap the winter time change. That call normally comes from the Wail, who drop the ball on the fact that the winter time is GMT and if we stayed on BST, we'd actually be on CET.
              …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore
