But, in America we've got Daylight-Saving Time to confuse things....
Daylight Saving Time runs from 2 a.m. on te first Sunday in April until the 2 a.m. on the last Sunday in October. It is a federal law administered by the US Department of Transportation (except in areas that specifically exempt themselves from the law).
Therefore 9:55 am EDT = 8:55 a.m. EST.
Isn't that fun?

Don't worry! I understand.....
We have daylight savings in OZ too.
I really need to spend some time on the script and also some words to accompany it!
Which areas are exempt from US laws?

It's kind of random. I think Indiana and Arizona don't observe Daylight Time, but I wouldn't swear to that!

We have Sommerzeit in Germany, too. But I dont know how it works, just found out
in the morning that it must have happened tonight.
Daylight savings and Olympic Games

...and to add to the general confusion, due to the Olympics here in mid-September, NSW in all its wisdom, has gone to daylight savings from end of August. BUT the rest of Australia hasn't, along with some north-westerly points of country NSW, who maintain that the cows get too confused...
Moo.
