I have asked if this is their official position or not, and not had a reply, but they are doubling down on it...
Hi James, We don't find any time difference for BST and UTC when we checked. Please find the attached picture.
And they attached this...
This was all because they wanted a call at "5:30 BST" (not even stating AM/PM).
But wow, they are sticking to it. Having sent a teams invite that states 18:00-18:30 (no time zone stated), and having explained that BST is UTC+1, they state:
For tomorrow call has arranged for 6 PM BST
So, it seems BT plc have cancelled British Summer Time.
About time too...
Maybe it's the new British Standard Time now that we've left the EU
ReplyDeleteThat looks very much like Google's AI overview of a "BST to UTC Chart" google search.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, and obviously wrong, but why even google that in the first place? Why even think of arranging times in BST in November?
DeleteA lot of people (British people, I mean) do think BST means British Standard Time.
ReplyDeleteSo do most Americans. And they're all wrong. I have written timezone handling code twice, I have earned my stripes in this area.
DeleteBST is British Summer Time, not British Standard Time. We have Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in winter.
Delete@other anonymous: do the stripes that you earned have some odd irregular kinks in them?
