Thank you for the quick response. Now that I have my answer how do I close this thread?

You can't, I'd just get some popcorn and watch the train fall off the rails and plunge headlong into irrelevant irreverence, and once people get bored of beating the Britain vs America horse, fade slowly into obscurity.

Considering how we are handling our freedom, we should pretty much just give ourselves back to the Brits.

It's actually UTC (Coordinated Universal Time [don't ask me why it isn't CUT instead of UTC, it's probably a Romance Language thing.])

UTC is, for most practical purposes, the same as GMT. But the international scientific community decided that Britain couldn't have nice things.
