Timezones are very fun and fascinating.

Hate to nit pick but England and France are NOT in the same time zone. France is an hour ahead of England (2 hours ahead of GMT currently) as is Sweden (as you correctly stated).

Portugal is in the same time zone as England though (but not the Azores, they're an hour behind).

The weirdest time zone belongs to Nepal, they are +5hr 45 mins of GMT (and 15 mins ahead of India) that's rather weird.


France is ahead of England.. fo real? Wow, I really should have known that, being English... and since I've been to France more times than I'd like to remember.
Shameful :(

But wow, you sound like you really know timezones.



Yeah I do, I love them. If you take the longitudes of England and France into consideration, then they should really be in the same time zones, Spain should be to (but they're an hour ahead of England as well).

I also know what countries do and don't observe DST and times of the year they observe them.

You have a good knowledge of locations for someone who can't even get their own location right :lol: (that was a reference to your profile location btw >=U )
