What time was it ... ?
Sunday, 29 January 2023 07:29 pmUnix time is measured from Midnight 1 Jan 1970 Greenwich Mean Time.
But what time was that in the UK ?
The answer appears to be 1 AM !
From March 1968 to Oct 1971 there was an experiment to stay on British Summer Time all winter.
I vaguely remember it being about making it lighter, and thus easier, for Scottish children walking home from school, so I had thought it might only have been a Scottish experiment. Does anyone know whether English and Scottish clocks showed different times those winters ?
Having stood in my kitchen watching the sun break the horizon at 09:00, I am not keen to have the clock go forward in the winter (and that was Aberdeen; the sun is 22 minutes later in the Western Isles).
