Yeah, there’s quite a few. The first time I looked at Olson there was only some overlap between Australia and the US (both claiming “Eastern Time” as their own territory, which as British Kiwi I found somewhat amusing). CDT could be Cuba (-4) or Central (-5) Daylight Time EST could be New York (-5) or Sydney (+10) AST could be Bermuda (-4) or Bahrain (+3) See more for yourself on https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/ Time Zone Abbreviations - Worldwide List timeanddate.com Sam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
