Dennis, the server is now about 19 minutes slow.
Alas, it would appear that your man with his pencil and paper was delayed an extra couple of minutes at Terminal 5 on his way back to the server farm. 
Ah well, this time tomorrow, the clocks will be an hour deviant to what they are today
edit - to correct typo

No Chance! He retained on the train at all times, thus there was no probability of him being allayed. He got it right, it's just the server that's wrong. (Maybe the guy who took the piece of paper from him was alliterative?)

Aha, I knew I'd seen it somewhere and (contrary to popular belief) I'm not cracking up...
...if you look at the bottom of the page on the right hand side, immediately below the forums, it says
When you are looking at the forums without being logged in, the default is
However, if your profile is changed to GMT + 1 hour, this changes to | Quote: | | All times are GMT + 1 Hour |
Therefore, my previous statement about the PGPSW clock running on GMT is kind of correct because this seems to be the default time zone.

Thanks but we don't control what our hosts use for time synchronisation! The servers are hosted and we don't have access to do this. If we did there wouldn't be an issue.

There has to be a 'default' timezone, our board software allows you to use what offset is your default. We choose GMT naturally. That doesn't change the fact that you need to change your offset when the clocks go back / forward.

Understood, but when I was trying to explain previously, you said that you didn't understand what I was saying and I thought I must be losing it.
Mind you, I carefully nibbled around the seem of an Easter egg the other day so that I'd have half left for the following day, but when I went back to it there was only an empty foil wrapper and nobody in the house has eaten it (or so they say!).
...and then there was this clock issue
Hence, I was coming to to conclusion that we either had a burglar whose target was just half an Easter egg or my memory isn't quite what it used to be.

 ! Yes understood, I didn't come across very well as I'm oft to keep it short'n'sweet in posts but it results in what may appear a terse reply.
Anyway the latest post did at least remind me to update my settings, despite forewarning everyone else I still managed to forget!

Shall we have to do it again when the clocks go back back?

If you do it often enough, you're bound to get it right eventually
GMT + DennisN = Chico time 
PS drifting back on topic, has anybody else noticed that the PGPSW server clock is now CORRECT(ish)?

Yes I noticed the time had corrected when I replied on Darrens reminder thread.
I suspected I wasn't the only one
