Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Jo; I always keep a journal when I travel bacause it is so helpful when trying to remember what picture I took where and it's nice to read later and remember things. During the past 10 years or so, I've e-mailed my daily journal entries to selected friends whom I knew would be interested in my odd journeys. A couple of years ago when I was in the Midwest of America, a friend told me I needed to publish the trip journal (my brother whom I took with me called THAT trip the " greatful dead tour " because I dragged him to meet so meany dead relatives!). Any road, would you like to be included in the list when I go to England this summer?

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 > >What is the time Diff between Bako and England? > Jo, That all depends on how you define time. The " Prime Meredian " runs through Greenwich, England. That is where we get Greenwich Mean Time (also known as Coordinated Uiversal Time or Zulu), which is the internationally recognized starting point for all the standard time zones. Pacific Standard time is eight hours behind Greenwich Mean TIme. However, when we switch to " Daylight Saving Time " here in CA, we're only seven hours behind GMT. So, the question is, does England observe Daylight Saving Time or not? IF they do, then we're still eight hours different. If they don't, then it's only a seven hour difference. Now, the real confusion comes in where a country observes " Double Daylight " time. Yup.. They move the clocks ahead two hours. Now, if England does that, they fall in line with the majority of the rest of Europe and we're nine hours behind them.. So, all we need to do is find out what the local time is in England and we can accuratley answer your question. (Next time I call one of our students over in Europe, I'll make sure to ask.) ;-))) Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Jerry...so at this point we can only surmise it is SOMEtime, SOMEwhere in England.

" Tuesday 9 May 2006 6:44 p.m. Wednesday 10 May 2006 2:45 a.m. That makes 8 hours time difference.

CRAZY > >Hugs >Jo > Jo, That's why the official air traffic control time is UTC/GMT. That way every airplane and every controller in the world is on the same time all the time. The crazy controllers and pilots just have to remembeer all the rules for the different countries and time zones to keep the local times straight. And, without doing a double-check, England may be the only European country that isn't nine hours ahead of us. The rest of the EU countries are on the same time zone and they are nine hours ahead of us. We have to keep that in mind when we call our " daughters " and their natural families in Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, and the Czech Republic. Now, you want to talk about Korea, Japan, and Tiawan? We're familiar with those areas too. LOL Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Jo, it is eight hours ahead. I set my alarm to wake up early so I can be online right now, earlier. I have been sleeping nine hours each night and even napping as I am detoxing off coffee. Tomorrow we will go into York to play tourist and I will hit a Starbucks. lol Yesterday was the baby's party. I met lots of people. I have pics and can post some when I get back.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Well, I have to keep track because the kids live outside the US. England is 8 hrs, Germany is 9 hrs except their Daylight Savings time starts on a different week than our (both places) and Japan is 17 hrs ahead, not sure yet what time their DS time starts since feels free to call ME whenever he wants like 2:30 am and ask me innocently what time is it there? Okay, those two statements are not related! I have my iPOD set for the time zones my loved ones are in. I had to use Iraq and Lebanon in the past, too. The only thing screwy is in the spring and fall since the world seems to change over times on individual dates. I don't know anyone who uses double daylight time, but I wonder if it is Greenland or some place like that? Marta > Now, you want to talk about Korea, Japan, and Tiawan?

How much did it cost(ballpark) and is it worth the cost? How big is the memory and what is a big memory and how do you like it? Maybe he will get one for Christmas.... is going to try out for the Etowah county youth symphony Orchestra....He has the audition piece. If he gets in it will be like an automatic music scholarship later. I'm going to try and get the trombone tomorrow for him because his is crappy and I figure he needs to practice on the new one now. Well like new...I feel bad because I couldn't get him the one he wanted but this was such a bargain at the pawn shop. I wondered if it wasn't stolen or something...LOL. It had a brand new mouthpiece that opened up and not a scratch on it. The one he wanted was 1500 dollars.....One similar to this sells new for about 1000, and we got it for $240. He's paid most of it with his chic a filet checks, so I only have to pay the last $100 or so. Hopefully he will get in the orchestra. He is in the High school symphonic band and Jazz band.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Mel, Costco.com has high school band instruments, I found out two nights ago when I couldn't sleep.
