Time Zones

[The Statman]

I am looking at the Predictions schedule for the China Open, and am looking for a bit of advice concerning time zones.

The tournament starts on March 26 at 10:30a.m. local time, which I note is the day after the clocks go forward in the UK.

My question is: How many hours ahead is (this part of) China of the UK, and do they also change their clocks? In other words, what will the time difference be that week?

Cheers

I think we are the only country in the world to change our clocks!

Right. So when the UK clocks go forward it will be only 7 hours.

???

(I think that's right!)

I think that's a European thing...

Yes?!?
I think you're right. It's currently +8, they don't adjust their time, so it must be +7.

We do too...and as Berolina said it's mostly a European thing, athough I know they do it in South africa for example.

I am always puzzled why some of the english know so little about continental affairs.

Who is the president? Tony Blair? Well, this forum shows there are really no boundaries between good folk!
