   >I have discovered that there is no such thing as GMT time anymore.

   Although GMT may not be "official" any more, I maintain that as
   long as someone uses the expression, and other persons still
   understand it, then the concept still exists.

Really! I still refer to our sports arena as `D.C. Stadium' rather than
`RFK', the Dept of Nukes as the `AEC', the `Motor Vehicle Administration'
as the `DMV', and my bank, now `Sovran', as it was originally, `Suburban
Trust' (Suburb Ant Rust:-). Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. I call my OS `UNIX'.

   (Denmark went metric a *loooong* time ago, but you can still
   buy butter by the pound here).

And we never got around to going metric, but that's how they sell liquor.
