	British Summer Time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		British Summer Time (BST), known in Ireland as Irish Summer Time (IST), is the daylight saving time in effect in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland between the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October each year.
		BST is the same as Central European Time (CET): one hour in advance of GMT, i.e.
		The clocks were not advanced for the summer of 1945 and were reverted to GMT at the end of the summer of 1945.

		During World War II, Britain retained the hour's advance on GMT at the beginning of the winter of 1940 and continued to advance the clocks by an extra hour during the summers until the end of the summer of 1944.
		The clocks were not advanced for the summer of 1945 and were reverted back to GMT at the end of the summer of 1945.
		Safety campaigners, including the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA), have made recommendations that British Summer Time be maintained over the winter months, and that a "double summertime" be applied to the current British Summer Time period, making the UK two hours ahead of GMT during summer.

	Mike's UK Trivia - the Story of BST
		British Summer Time is determined by an Act of Parliament: the Summer Time Act, 1972.
		However, since the Summer Time Order, 1994 (that is, in 1994 and 1997) the dates have been those determined by the EC directive on daylight saving, thus formally synchronised our summer time changes with Europe (which is the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October).
		(2) The period of summer time for the purposes of this Act is the period beginning at one o'clock, Greenwich mean time, in the morning of the last Sunday in March and ending at one o'clock, Greenwich mean time, in the morning of the last Sunday in October.

	British Summer Time: historical information
		Thus the time was now one hour in advance of GMT, being Summer Time rather than the year-round time one hour in advance of GMT used previously, and would revert to GMT at the time specified by the Summer Time Acts, 1922 to 1925, 2am GMT on 7 October.
		This provided for the time in the Bailiwick of Jersey to be one hour in advance of Greenwich mean time throughout the year (to be known as “Jersey Standard Time”) from 27 October 1968 until 31 October 1971, the time of day being unspecified in both cases.

	BBC - h2g2 - British Summer Time
		Summer duly occurs at some point during this period, being characterised, according to ancient belief, by spells of warm, sunny weather; so if at any time in those months there is sunny, warm weather for more than two consecutive days, the population is able to shrug collectively and say well, that was summer.
		The summer holidays are then timed to coincide with cooler, wetter weather; but the fact that they are called summer holidays is a clear indication of the season.
		Holidays: The six weeks which comprise the peak summer holiday season are marked by a 100% increase in the price of a family holiday, so another indicator of summer is the appearance of long queues of caravans on the roads and large numbers of tents in remote muddy fields.

	Merlyn - Summer Time - J R Stockton
		Time Zone (to the next Eastward); the clocks are set two hours ahead of standard in Summer, and one hour in Winter.
		To be rational, Summer Time ought to be from the Sunday nearest to the nominal Spring Equinox (which is March 21st, implying Sunday is in 18th-24th) to that nearest to the Autumn one.
		Summer Time was first suggested (apparently frivolously) by Benjamin Franklin (Paris, 1784); it was advocated by William Willett (London, 1907) and considered by the Commons (1908).

		The time shift didn't end with the summer, as clocks were rolled back to be one hour ahead of GMT through the winter.
		The Uniform Time Act, enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1966, established a system of uniform (within each time zone) daylight time throughout most of the U.S. and its possessions, exempting only those states in which the legislatures voted to keep the entire state on standard time.
		Daylight time is observed in most of the United States, with the exceptions of part of Arizona and part of Indiana.

	DTI Employment Relations - summer time
		The purpose of the Directive is to prescribe the start and end dates of summer time in all European member states as being the last Sundays in March and October respectively.
		Certainty of the summer time dates will be a positive benefit to business and will aid business planning, as there will no longer be any variation on the beginning of summer time from one year to the next.
		The costs of implementing the Directive will be small as the summer time period provided for is largely the same as is currently provided for in the UK.

	What time is it really? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		There is a time which it is by the ticking of high-precision clocks, and there's also the more obvious natural time which says that midnight, (mid-night) is the point in the middle of the night when it's the same number of hours and minutes to dawn as it is from dusk.
		Government decreed that the time would now be this new time, which of course didn't make any difference to the time it was, but it made people get up an hour earlier, go to work an hour earlier, go to bed an hour earlier.
		B.S.T., British Summer Time, or British Silly Time, is one of these things that people have fallen for, believing that's the time it really is. People who think they've got a nine-to-five job actually have to get up and go to work at eight o'clock in the morning.

		The duration of British Summer Time (BST) can be varied by Order of Council and in recent years has been changed so as to bring the date of the start of Summer Time into line with that used in Europe.
		There is no rule for the dates of Summer Time (BST) for the years 1995, 1996 and 1997.

		In xxxxx words, the hour is the GMT hour, and the offset is the GMT offset, but this contradicts the system clock which is showing British Summer Time.
		(There seems to be a jinx on British Summer Time: in Java 1.0 the timezone offset returned by java.util.Date for BST was 59 minutes instead of 60 minutes!) I hope this is helpful.
		To directly code for BST, note that now-a-days in Britain, the clocks go forward 1 hour at 1am on the last Sunday of March, and back again at 2am on the last Sunday of October.

		European Summer Time is the daylight saving time practised in Europe, the period during which clocks are advanced by one hour in relation to the official time observed during the rest of the year.
		This is done in all of the countries of Europe except Iceland (which observes UTC all year round), and has also been prescribed by a directive of the European Union.
		In most of Europe the word Summer is added to the name of each European time zone during this period: thus, in the UTC+1 time zone, Central European Time becomes Central European Summer Time (UTC+2).

		In World War II, Britain advanced the clock one hour during the winter (bst, for British Summer Time) and two hours during the summer (dbst, for Double British Summer Time), first for five months, then seven, and finally year round between 1941 and 1944.
