According to tzdata, my timezone is Europe/London.  which is what I want...

According to System Settings and Kcontrol, it's Europe/Guernsey...

Now I'm confused.... which am I in?  I'm definitely on the mainland...

Play when you can. Hunt when you must. Rest in between.
Share your affections. Voice your opinion. Leave your Mark.
