Then he should have told EVERYONE, I would have posted a bid if I'd known. And the times are NOT in GMT, you can set to have them adjusted for daylight saving in your options.sprite wrote:The auction end-time is in BST. The post times are in GMT. Neun already reassured me on MSN with that fact![]()

He did. The first post clearly says BST (which is GMT+1) and was updated to show I was the winner.philu wrote:Then he should have told EVERYONE

BST means British Standard Time. That is the timezone used the UK in the winter, otherwise known as GMT+1. Britain is no longer using BST, its using GMT. Neun has already said I have won with my bid - why are you arguing?philu wrote:First part of B is BRITISH.
Time in BRITAIN when you posted your bid was 10:55AM.
Totally absolutely and utterly wrong. BST stands for British SUMMER Time and is used in the SUMMER. Don't try to tell me how my own timezone works mate.sprite wrote:BST means British Standard Time. That is the timezone used the UK in the winter, otherwise known as GMT+1.
Exactly my point. It was when you made your bid as well, at 10:55.sprite wrote:Britain is no longer using BST, its using GMT.
I'm not arguing about whether you have won. I already said it's up to Neun didn't I? I'm just saying your bid was late according to my clock which is set to the current time in Britain. Just making a point. Made it, discussion done. Back to work now.sprite wrote:Neun has already said I have won with my bid - why are you arguing?
