Hello - I've just checked that my earlier message was added to the forum. However, the time seems a bit wayward - I posted at midnight, yet the time shows 10.53pm!! Happily I was still in the pub enjoying a pint of London Pride then - good job I don't have to prove where I was at that time!
Cheers, Pete.

Doesn't that mean Denmark is now :shock: somewhere to the west of London and Ireland in the middle of the Atlantic then??

Hi pete the traveller…..down at the bottom right of the page it says: all times are GMT…..the time in the UK and Portugal is GMT+one hour (BST)…..you posted at midnight BST which is 11 GMT and the time shown is 10.53…….so you only have to account for your whereabouts for those 7 minutes……you could say you were walking back from the pub, quite feasible…….

Ellie, I've seen the little mermaid and I wasn't plodging in the waters west of Ireland at the time :D

I just meant that if Danish time (an hour ahead of London) was an hour behind London, as per Mr Gambrinus, then they must have moved Copenhagen to somewhere between Ireland and Canada..... I think..... :? although I've confused myself now.

Don't worry, it wasn't funny the first time around :oops:
