^ and on that note... in a dual boot setup with windows you get similarly
broken behavior if kubuntu thinks the hardware clock is UTC but it is not
as windows defaults to actual timezone time = hardware time

so, say you are in BST (UTC+1) and it's 12:00 UTC, windows will make the
hardware clock 13:00 and if you reboot into a kubuntu that thinks it is UTC
you get 14:00.

I have no sufficient knowledge on how this can happen but I have seen it
happen to friends and forcing windows to use UTC offset instead fixed it.
probably also something to look into.
