Timezone "amusement"

I've been working on an extensive "little" project for a week or so and thus have been leaving plsdev open so that I can pick up where I left off very easily.

I arrived at work this morning to find that plsdev is advising me that the timestamp on all of my files that were open has changed. I checked the files and they haven't actually changed ...

What has changed is that we switched from GMT to BST over the weekend.

Whilst I add my backing to campaigns to scrap daylight savings - I thought this might amuse someone. If nothing else it might allay any concerns of another user encountering the same thing.

IMHO: there are likely more urgent things to fix before this get considered. If nothing else - there's a workaround, an explanation, etc and it only happens twice per year - thankfully ...
