Does this not work for Scotland?

It's not needed in Scotland - we've mastered addition and subtraction.

I'm developing a website that will convert
hundredths of a metre into centimetres. Of
course, there WILL be banners and popups.
I have to pay for the math processor, you know.

<< So nothing can happen during the two minutes between these times?>>

Of course it can. But It it attributed to either 23.59 or 00.01.

For Example, Warships never sail at 24.00 or 00.00. They sail at 23.59 or
00.01. (Or at least, ships of the British Navy do)

<< Zulu is another name for UTC. In UTC, minutes run from 00:00 to 23:59;
there is no 24:00. And 00:00 always refers to the beginning of the day
of reference, never the end; the minute following 23:59 on 7 February is
00:00 on 8 February.>>

Is UTC another name for Greenwich Mean Time(GMT)?

GMT is the current time at the Royal Observatory on the Prime Meridian in
Greenwich England. Used as a time standard worldwide.

GMT is obsolete. Especially in England, most especially
by the BBC, the obsolote term "GMT" is used as a synonym
for UTC, which is the international standard, and is the
local time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich during
part of the year. Technically, there is some abiguity as
to whether GTM, if it still exists, is exactly the same
as UTC. It is quite clear that "NATO" time is NOT exactly
the same as UTC, due to differing philophies about the
application of leap seconds.

About as obsolete as Yards,Feet and inches or Stones, Pounds and Ounces,
would you say?

Incidently, what time would they keep in, say, Glasgow or Belfast.

There's a clock on the Corn Exchange in Bristol with three hands - one
of which shows "national" time (or British Standard Time, GMT, Western
European Time, whatever you want to call it) and another which shows
local time, which is 12½ minutes different. I think I'm right in
saying - doubtless the more knowledgeable on RTE will correct me if
I'm wrong - that there's one in Oxford which also shows local time, in
this case 5¼ minutes different to London.

My understanding is that "national" time was invented when the
railways began to develop - indeed, when I asked my grandmother what
time it was, she'd often say "Ten past ten, railway time."

... Who do you think? Look at some of the subjects in this group.
... Unbelievable!
