Hey Martin, thanks for letting me know about the behavior you're seeing with events displaying 3 hours later in Safari on your Mac.
Just to be sure...when viewing your embedded calendar in Safari, you're logged into the same Google Account, right? I haven't been able to reproduce this issue and wanted to double-check. Please make sure you're logged into the same Google Account in both Firefox and Safari when viewing your embedded calendar and reproducing this issue.
Also, heads-up that Camino isn't a supported browser so Google Calendar may operate a bit differently on it. That said, when I viewed your embedded calendar on Firefox, Safari, and Camino (just for kicks), the week starts on Sunday in all three browsers. So, you may want to try re-embedding if you're still having the Sunday/Monday start day issue you described.
Hi Becky, thanks very much indeed for responding to this. I did wonder whether I should have started a new thread for it.
I'm now looking at this web page -- http://www.mebush.net/googlecalendar-test/ -- using three different web browsers on a MacBook Pro while typing this on another machine. I'm not logged in to any Google account within any of the three browsers. What I'm seeing is as follows. Safari: The event times are shown as being 3 hours later than what they should be. The weeks are shown as starting on a Monday. Firefox: The event times are correct; weeks start on Mondays. Camino: The event times are correct; weeks start on Sundays.
Are you really not able to reproduce this? If not, I wonder whether that's because you're not in the UK. I don't care about Camino and the Mondays/Sundays discrepency, but I am very concerned about the incorrect event times when the calendar is viewed using Safari.
Martin.

Martin, so nice to see you again over here in a clean new thread :) So, we're still investigating this issue and believe that it's a combination of how embedded Calendar displays events when not logged in to your Google Account and behavior specific to the Safari browser. Currently, your embedded Google Calendar will use your local computer time zone settings as a foundation for determining the time at which events are displayed.
The team is looking into ways to improve how embedded calendar displays events according to time zone information and your comments will be kept in mind for any future developments we make.

I've also been experiencing this same problem with the calendar times
being out by three hours. Like Martin, I also am in the UK and using
Mac OS X with Safari.
Today I upgraded to Leopard and the problem seems to have resolved
itself.
I have the Leopard CD but haven't installed it yet. However, now that
I look again at my embedded calendar I see that the event times are
now correct in Safari! It looks to me as though Becky and the team
have fixed it but not got around to confirming the fix yet. Your
upgrade to Leopard yesterday, Ian, was just coincidental I think.
Anyway, I'm happy now. This issue has also made me more mindful of the
fact that the event times shown on embedded Google calendars depend on
the users' system settings, so I've included a warning to my users
above our embedded calendar to warn them of this. (It also gives them
something to read while the calendar is loading.)
