US time zones are as follows (at least - I'm ignoring Samoa and weird parts of the continental US where they don't use daylight savings time):

US/East
US/Central
US/Mountain
US/West
US/Alaska
US/Aleutian
US/Hawaii

Isn't that PST (Pacific Standard Time)?

Besides CET Summer would be CEST.

It's only PST half the year, just like the time in the UK is only GMT half the year, which brings this thread full circle.

Thank God for George Stephenson. Who? The man who was the father of the train really, because without the train, 'time' as we know it wouldn't exist. The new technology meant that a standard time table was needed, and thus 'time' was born. Prior to this, time would be organised locally, so the time in London would be totaly different to the time in Birmingham for example.

Just imagine when we conquer the stars, hehe thats gonna be ace, imagine trying to organise ml10 with players light years apart

Quite simple.

English time + 1 = Central European Time (paris/madrid). Anytime. Whatever you call them.

Time wastes me, my body and my wits.
But I waste time, so time and me are quits !
