So what's to change? Let's face it it's winter darkness that stinks whether it's dark mornings or early evenings. We should just shift the whole country down out into the Atlantic to get more light LOL<br />xFire Byrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477692359400671374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5971346703488173493.post-83532440639970465402009-10-26T21:18:46.978+00:002009-10-26T21:18:46.978+00:00Just the same as you, I always felt it should have...Just the same as you, I always felt it should have been abolished a long time ago..xxRachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05254109361061114465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5971346703488173493.post-36957520197294129802009-10-26T12:57:53.092+00:002009-10-26T12:57:53.092+00:00I wasn't aware of the controversy until I read...I wasn't aware of the controversy until I read about it here...the power of blogs!Kathy Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593849691667606991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5971346703488173493.post-49754979416922518042009-10-26T10:47:02.747+00:002009-10-26T10:47:02.747+00:00I seem to remember when I was at school (No. Not b...I seem to remember when I was at school (No. Not before the War!!!) that the Ruskies (Russians, for our American friends!) started treating Vladivostok as Greenwich.

Th...I expect you know my views before I even start!<br />The less interference from brussels the better. I think it is about time they fell into line with us!<br />I think a lot of countries are miffed that not only do we have GMT, but they have to use it as well. The French have always wanted the meridian to run through Paris and I expect the Americans want it to run through NY.<br />A statute of 1880, enacted that the word 'time' in any legal document relating to GB, was to be interpreted as the Mean Time of the Greenwich Meridian.<br />It was later decreed in 1884 by the nations of the world, assembled in Washington, that all would accept that as a compliment to British astronomers and navigators, the Meridian should pass through Greenwich.<br />They can't change history.<br />Piss off eu!!!!!Bernardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024557597864373705noreply@blogger.com
