Thanks.
That's GMT +1
Is it always that or is that for Daylight Saving in UK?

There is no saving the UK.

PS See the date line, above your post text? That's what counts.

That will be different for everyone.

Is RHP time a joke?

It is aprtly a joke, but it is in my opnion a clear and esy to find way to see what is midnight.

One does need one single time for everyone. And most probably nobody is trying superstitiuosly to use the last few minutes of twilight to ban the phantom of the story to the paper.

That’s very generous compared to when I last entered the comp, I’ll still struggle for a suitable ending and don’t get me started on my beginning and my bit in the middle.

We are currently in British summer time as opposed to daylight saving which we switch to when the days get shorter.
I’m still a bit confused because my post time is showing an hour earlier than everyone is quoting but as long as I know the date I should be fine.

The answer is quite simple...plagiarize but don't forget to name the plagiarized author....oh and don't expect to win either. 😲 πŸ˜‰

As long as they are a pro golfer it shouldn't be a problem.

(Just finished my first draft sir. It's chilling...)

In about an hour I'm off for my "Sunday morning" round of golf and as I went out to check on the weather, best to do that instead of relying on the weather prognosticators, since they are most often nowhere near where I reside, and noted a slight chill in the air. Could that have had anything to do with your writing? πŸ€”
