Marieh Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 Nope. Definitely 9. Check it! Yes, now. But in october it will get back to "normal" again, 9 hours
Elise Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 It will always be 9 hours. We change when you change.
Marieh Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 It will always be 9 hours. We change when you change. Hmm when we change the clock back, you change it forward, dosen't that make it a +2 hours?

I think it depends where abouts in Australia you live. I know that there are different time zones within Australia itself, and since all of the UK is on the same time, then different places in Australia will be different numbers of hours ahead of the UK. *if that makes sense* With regards to the moving backwards/forwards thing... If it's 00:00GMT and 11:00am in Australia, just for argument's sake, then if we move forward an hour so it's 01:00 and Australia move back an hour (like what happens in the British summer) then it's 10:00am in Australia. Previously, there's an eleven hour time difference, with the time alterations, there's now only a nine hour difference. Damn you, timezones! Edit: Put more simply, for the time differences to stay the same in both countries, then we'd both have to move an hour in the same direction (ie either backwards or forwards) and we don't. So, therefore, the difference can't stay the same.
~Rosey~ Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 I live in Sydney I always remember (before I gained an hour) that if it was 7am here, it would be 8pm (previous night) in teh Uk God i'm confused now
James Martin Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 Just been reading... Windows XP and Vista will change themselves. Not sure about 2000 or other OSes, but Win 98 doesn't.
Skykat Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 People I speak to in Sydney are 11 hours ahead but my friend in Perth is 9 hours ahead so I always just assumed it was to do with time differences in Aus. I might be wtong though.
