In my experience, it gets more confusing for English people who schedule meetings in GMT in the summer and then are an hour late.

It's also a problem for software engineers in the UK, for whom 6 months of the year utc and local time are the same, resulting in people not knowing the difference. In the rest of the world it's bleedin obvious.

A downside to inventing time I guess ;)

The two times a year when you find out which new tests were written to use local time instead of UTC.

Yup, on occassion you think you've set up a server correctly but it's actually on local time, only to find everything breaks come the end of March.

Also in software dev and yes it's a pain, I've had to point out multiple times that UTC != GMT.

A downside to believing that you invented the concept of measuring time.
