Happy Local Time Is Not UTC Day to all developers in Ireland and the UK who have written code that handles dates/times in the past 6 months!

@wjt Ireland, of course, has just moved away from its weird winter time timezone and returned to Irish Standard Time. Later in the year it will transition backwards from normal time by one hour.

@mjg59 I for one cannot wait for the EU (inc. Ireland) to follow through on abolishing summer/winter time changes, the UK to stick with it while screaming RULE BRITANNIA in the middle of the night twice a year, and then seeing people once again discovering the EU/UK land border.

@wjt @mjg59 Choosing which permanent hour to use gets interesting.

@wjt @KevinMarks try using Outlook to schedule Zoom meetings for next week when you're in Paris, they're in UK and noone can work out what Outlook will do to the timezones.. 🤯
