But the Chatham Islands, though east of 180 degrees longitude (and thus in the western hemisphere), are _west_ of the date line, which necessarily diverges from the 180-degree meridian to lie east of the Chatham Islands.
Closer (presumably) to home, you've also left out Newfoundland Daylight Time (+02:30).
You're right. I will add that. I will also add the 1:30 time zone observed from April through October, 1988 as Newfoundland Double Daylight Time.
Please pardon my indignant tone :-) .
Actually, your comments are really appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to correct the mistakes or shortcomings in my time zone list. You have a superior knowledge of world time zones which I respect. Let me know if I may communicate my revised list to you for review.
