Just a note, the Royal Greenwich Observatory has not been in Greenwich
since 1948, when in moved Hurstmonceux. So the actual time signals
for GMT are NOT from Greenwich (though the meridian still goes
through the old observatory). Also, I've heard that GB is
moving to UTC (due to budget cuts). Does anyone know when this
will happen? Does anyone know the EXACT difference btween UTC and GMT?

The information came from the July-August "Sea Frontiers", p 195.
