Some slight confusion there! GMT is GMT whether in Greenwich (part
of London) or anywhere else. Clocks in London however, are not
currently set to GMT. We only set our clocks to GMT in winter.
Here in the UK our clocks are now set to BST (British Summer Time)
which is GMT +1.
Thus I have Vista set to GMT and to adjust auromatically for, what
M$ calls, "Daylight Savings time", which, fortunately, happens to
automatically set Vista to show BST in summer.
