    Damn cheek! We stick an "io" on the end:

    Internetio
    Mobilio
    Wheelio Binio

    (Actually, "internet" is "rhyngrwyd", "mobile phone" is "ffôn poced" and we don't need the wheel as everywhere level enough to use it is underwater)

    If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

        I thought Tyneside was GMT-60 years.

        I wish, we had full employment back then. That said we also had black lung and welding-induced emphysema so perhaps not.

            Consett isn't Tyneside. Consett is inbred central. It's the North East equivalent of Norfolk.

                'fraid so - we nicked the words from English and filed off the serial numbers: it's pronounced "phon pock-ed"

                  Its obvious - GMT+8 covers Western Australia and is also known as Hotel time. No better place for those Aussies pi$$ing it up in a hotel to be. What more do you need to know ? Says me at GMT+2 or Beta time in South Africa (the Rainbow Nation which is still a beta version). Cheers, Brett

                        I know that in Wales, every village has a fireman. He goes round the homes every night to light the fire. He will not give his secret of how to make fire to anybody. And I love listening to Welsh being spoken, every now and then an English word crops up in the middle of a sentence because the concept is so new there is no Welsh word for it. You get "blah blah blah Internet blah blah blah Mobile Phone blah blah blah Wheel blah blah blah"

                          In brief GMT + 2 but if you need the longer version and waste your reading time there you go :) Like most states in Europe, Summer (Daylight-Saving) Time is observed in Turkey Time, where the time is shifted forward by 1 hour; 3 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+3). After the Summer months the time in Turkey Time is shifted back by 1 hour to Eastern European Time (EET) or (GMT+2)

                              cause that's where we live.... If you only look at Accenture, IBM and HP here in the Philippines you can count more than 20.000 developers... and obviously there are much more than these 3 guys on the block :)
