Time of summer

GMT is an absolute - the zero-hour meridian runs through Greenwich. What happens is that the country moves onto British Summer Time (BST), which is GMT+1. The clocks go forward at 2am on the last Sunday in March, and go back at 2am on the last Sunday in October.

Ok, so when UK goes BST, does the city of Greenwich become Greenwich Mean Time +1 also?

Well, yes! The UK is one time-zone, and Greenwich Mean Time is named after the town, not the other way around

Thank you!

I gotta work on it a little more when I get home. It needs... cleaning. Or something. I think it needs to be a little sharper.

It looks like you had the JPEG compression up too high when you saved it.

 

[Super Scooter]

Hmmm. Maybe. Can that be reversed?

 

[anathema]

Nope. You might be able to filter the worst of it out, but the only way to fix the problem is to start over. If you want to send me the original images, I can do that for you ;-)

Nah, that's okay. I'll try it myself. Thanks, though.
