For all of you who haven't seen the movie AND would like to see it
with dutch subtitles AND want to watch commercial breaks all through
it.... The HHG movie premiers on television tonight on Veronica
channel 20:30. That would be about 19:30 UK time (GMT), except if they
have a different DST from us, and it might be 20:30 GMT...

I, uhm, hope this helps? Did anyone get as confused from this post as
I did? Am I going to watch it tonight? On television?

Which Witch posted which post?

You do know that GMT and UK time are not the same don't you?
GMT is Teh UK time with no DST, so no UK time is now GMT+1 and in the
winter it's GMT+0 (or is it GMT-0 I never can remember).

The British Summer Act 2002 ties BST to WEST, but it didn't replace BST
with WEST. The two are different, and that difference means that if you
live in the United Kingdom your current timezone is BST, not WEST.
