What we should really be doing is making it clear to one and all that these abbreviations are meaningless, rather than FET or EEFT or BYT or anything else, call all the Russian (and related) zones "EST" (they're Eastern, with respect to most of Europe anyway, and they have a standard time), for no better reason than to make it clear to everyone that the abbreviations have no practical purpose, and are better never used, anywhere.
Very true. Perhaps we should use "NSA", for "No Standard Abbreviation", for these cases. -- Clive D.W. Feather | If you lie to the compiler, Email: clive@davros.org | it will get its revenge. Web: http://www.davros.org | - Henry Spencer Mobile: +44 7973 377646
