Plectile - one of those rubber triangle things an electric-guitarist uses so he doesn't get electrocuted (pity)

That'd be 7 p.m. on our current time, right?

I should nominate you for Grand Exalted Keeper of the Timezones and
their Variations in Diverse Climes. It's pro bono work, but you're
allowed a small stipend of mauve saran wrap for personal use.

7 EDT -- but since the benighted folks overseas don't use "Early" DST,
I figured that giving it as standard time (GMT-5) would work. Unless,
of course, all those in Europe now are on daylight time already?

Hi Dave,

I don't know about the rest of Europe, but in the Netherlands we won't be on
daylight time until the last sunday of march.

Best, Hugo

The UK goes on summer time on the 30th of March.

[Paul Keating]

All of the EU is on the same rule, last Sunday of March and October. For new
countries, it's part of the acquis. Even the UK dropped its own rule, in
favour the EU rule, in 2002. Prior to that the UK passed an Order in Council
every few years to keep in step with the rest of the EU.

[Acquis: the approximately 12,000 pages of legislation a country has to
adopt (and amend all its other laws to agree with) if it's to join the EU.
That's why it takes years.]
