We're sorry, but Ancestry.com is being updated We are currently updating the website to make it more efficient and improve site performance. We expect the website to be available again before 8 AM Mountain Time (10 AM Eastern). Please check back soon. Visit RootsWeb.com BUT WHEN IS THAT GMT??!

Angela Report 8 Nov 2005 08:28

I think Eastern Time is 5 hours behind us so 10am Eastern Time would be 3 o'clock this afternoon.

According to my world clock it's only 3.30 am over there, that's another 4 and a half hours to wait .....!!!!! C'mon guys, I've got to go to bed soon, it's 9.30pm in NZ

I saw something that said Mountain Time is seven hours before ''Coordinated Universal Time''.....what the **** is that?? If C.U.T. is the same as G.M.T. (and that is what we are on at the mo coz it's winter), then Mountain Time is seven hours behind us. It is 8.30am here, so it's 1.30am in the mountains......so another 7½ hours to go before they reach 8am???? Merry

Ok,Ok, so its anything between 4 1/2 and 7 1/2 hours to wait! Oh Dear, what shall we do ? Suggestions anyone Jess x

Mountain Time is 7 hours behind GMT. Eastern Time is 5 hours behind GMT. So 8am Mountain Time is 3pm GMT. Elaine x (in Sussex - with a good Atlas !)

Looks like we will have to spend the morning catching up with the filing!!! By the time we have had a little drinkie at lunchtime it will soon be 3 o'clock. The New Zealand contingent had better get an early night then be ready and raring to go at some God-forsaken hour of tomorrow morning.
