Daylight Saving Time Increase Your PM Length

It's that time of the year again.

Is the Apolyton clock going to be centrally adjusted, or do we have to change it ourselves in our profiles?

Was that to me, Jam?
I'm on +9 GMT, which is the timezone "used" by Tokyo, Seoul, etc, at least according to the description.

Oh, I get you now. So my timezone really is correct - +10 GMT, but due to Poly going into daylight saving and us just finishing daylight saving, I'll never actually use that setting. My head hurts.

I never adjusted my time. Let me check if it is correct.

test...

nope, I never changed it last fall. It still shows 18:36 (the time is actually 17:36).

So no adjustment needed.

When is daylight savings time? It's not today is it?

I'm campaigning for BST to be GMT+2. It makes so much more sense. Who the heck needs first light at around 4-5am, it'd be far more useful to have twilight at around 10-11pm.

Apparently it can be changed on a timezone-by-timezone basis now (I don't think it was this way in the past), as it's already changed to summer time for us Europeans...
