Time Zone

As every school child will know, Ireland and Scotland share the same time zone. Greenwich Mean (or Meridian, possibly) Time in the Winter and British (Irish) Summer Time in the Summer. If you don't believe me, just pick a school child at random from your local school gates and ask them.

But last night it didn't feel that way. Between the hours of 8-10 I sat in my local pub and read the paper before the night crowd arrived. And arrive they did in their fine feathers at which I left. In Scotland, if you wanted to do that you'd need to be there between 6-8. So in that sense the two countries are two hours apart. In the sense of pub time zones.

A small, but noteworthy point, I'm sure you'll agree.
