So you say, but somehow I suspect that you in fact mean Pacific Daylight Time. ^^

Also, His Majesty demands that you specify the time for the events held in His honour as measured at His Royal Observatory at Greenwich.

That would have saved me the googling and calculating. At least writing up the GMT+/- equivalent in brackets could help.
I used to be a pilgrim like you. Then I took an Indian arrow in the head...

If anything, though, since the liberal travesty that is DST was introduced, UTC should be used in preference to GMT, mostly because I find the latter can easily be confused with the localized time in London (but also because they are technically different, and it is UTC that everyone actually uses).

This is why it's PST. His Majesty, realizing the colonists lack loftar's eloquence and sophistication in matters of time and the history of its bastardization, has allowed for lesser standards, preferring not to lose attendance due to ignorance of proper timekeeping.

Also, the first events were very successful. The Popham events ran over schedule and lacked a third feature, but our planning committee will take their low humours into account and adjust accordingly. Thank you for the fun and I hope coat is savaged from one warlord to the next for months to come.
