CET

There is a sailing programme on Sky Sports tomorrow at 2215 CET.
Is this the same as GMT.

No - CET is central european time which is UTC plus 1 hour.

GMT is now UTC so as not to offend the French.... don't start!

and I heard this morning the BBC World Service - OUR bloody world service !!! - using European Central Time instead of GMT.

How do they spell PRIDE ? pathetic.

Thanks for the replies, didn't realise it could be such an emotive subject but that's the forum for you. I did notice Pinnacle that on the site you sent us to it states that UTC is approx. the same as GMT, to me that sounded a little tongue in cheek.

You should take it as a complement to your pathetic little country that the rest of the world allowed UTC to be approximately, similar, almost etc. the same as GMT. The "mean" presumably denotes some inaccuracy or perhaps refers to the parsimonious nature of your countrymen.

Me, I'm happy to take a sunsight at its zenith and call that 12.00.

Anyone for cricket?

And there was me thinking that when the sun reached it's zenith it was 1:00.
