Is there any technical way or suggestions of how to keep up with everyones time differences on here without having to do a manual search each post?? - yes I realize it may not be easy but in this technically savie world any bright ideas from ANYONE??? unless just asking all members to just simply post their time and date as they post their item?? - yes I know it my just be a minor thing to some but it is driving me crazy??
 
It's 06;28 here in Old Blighty, and I should be getting ready. I don't have to report for work until much later today but our gardener will be here soon, as will the fellow who services and repairs our cars. The old MG has a very soft tyre, too soft to drive on, once that's repaired he can take the car to his workshop, there's a few other things that need attending.
As for time difference, The UK is five hours ahead of East Coast USA.

and the date?? must be friday heh?
 
if you hover your mouse over how many mins ago the post was made it simple shows your date and time - well it does over here anways?? - but I'm more interested in your time not mine?
 
I think that each line of longitude on a globe, is
equivalent to one hour, which ever way that you
are counting, east is +1 hr, west is - 1 hr, but I
think that this notion, is maybe, or near enough.

There are diagrams here.

Universal Standard time zones were the result of one man missing a train. Sir Sandford Flemming was a land surveyor on the first trans Canada railway. He missed a train because, at that time, every city and town in Canada had it's own version of "what time it is ".

Flemming devised a world wide standard time system, that divided the world into 24 zones, with the zero line at the National Observatory in England.

thanks Jim in Toronto this seems to be the best available for my needs?

world clocks still by nice if members made the effort to out their own time and date on each posting - but that would probably be asking too much ??
