Sorry, that should have been a

Titania,
We definitely are in West European Time, an hour ahead of London and that is GMT+1. At the moment it is still summertime, at GMT+2.
Check the timezones in windows Control-panel.

Hmmm... according to the site I've consulted, WET (Western Europe Time) is the same as GMT, while CET is GMT+1

I thought WET covered the isles that don't belong to either Ireland or the UK...

Decided to double check and, as far as I can see, UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the same as GMT
WET = UCT = GMT
CET is UTC+1 (=GMT+1)
Found another site saying so too:

Titania, I give in. I suppose the timeserver I consulted has it wrong.
We are at the same time as you, in the same blue colour, and and the same UTC-offset, so that should make it CET/CEST.
