Here, in Thailand we are at GMT + 7, you at GMT - 6 so 13 hours behind us. The United Kingdom has just gone off summer time so is at GMT. Sydney and Melbourne are on Summer time so are at GMT + 11, Brisbane doesn’t observe Summer time so it as GMT + 10. Adelaide is on Summer time and is at GMT + 10:30 and Perth is, I believe, on GMT + 8 having tried Summer time and decided not to continue with it.

All confusing enough?

So when it was 19:15 on November 4th for you it was 01:15 on the 5th in London, 12:15 In Sydney and Melbourne, 11:15 in Brisbane, 11:45 in Adelaide and 09:15 in Perth.

I hope I got that right!


I appreciate your response.......but have come to the conclusion some questions weren't meant to be asked. Big Grin

Coffee is on the by the way.......it is early in the morning here!


Or answered. Please pour me another cup. I'm having trouble following this conversation. If you put it in a syringe so I can mainline the caffeine--would also be appreciated. Big Grin Big Grin


Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

Tangata well done!!!! I was most impressed, especially with the Adelaide time. Whenever we go to Queensland and people ask us where we come from people don't know a lot about Adelaide. So for you to know our daylight saving time is great. Big Grin

Jenno,

I have to know Adelaide, my second great grandfather helped build Government House in Adelaide.

He was there around 1836 on HMS Buffalo. Leaving Adelaide they went across to Coromandel in NZ to collect spars for the Royal Navy, they spent about a year there.

Returning to England he married and took one of the first Immigrant ships to NZ, the Oriental, arriving in Wellington on the 1st Feb 1840.


When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.

Thank you for that information. I found it interesting. Amazing what you find out when you do a family tree, or have family history. Ours has been done, but by a cousin in Melbourne.

Good morning Kirm........we are supposed to be 80 today! Eeker. we haven't even had our first freeze yet. I'm off to the eye doctor this morning and then start in on the leaves that are everywhere.

I'm on cup number three and have already been on the treadmill this morning......

Hope everyone has a great day.
