Feather via tz" <tz@iana.org> Message-ID: <YUx9uVqhCngF4JXv@davros.org> | But TZDB already favours London over Bristol, Bristol doesn't get to decide what time it sets the clocks to, so unless they start doing that (they could, though the British govt probably would not like it) or it is done for them, they're subservient to the UK time authority, and that one we call Europe/London (and would do so even if the ministry that recommends these things happened to have its offices in Birmingham). The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, etc, all have the authority to choose their own time zone, unless the EU parliament decided to remove that choice from them (and they accepted that), so they ought be separate zones (the names those take are established by the tzdb rules, which aren't of relevance right now). kre
