I think you're behind the times, David ;-) I was taught that what you said above was true for a while until the town (village?) of Greenwich got tired of not having daylight savings time (and being an hour off from the rest of Britain for the summer) and relinquished GMT. Thus was UT (Universal Time) born, which is the real, i.e. no Daylight Savings, time at the longitude of Greenwich. In other words it's what used to be called GMT, but Greenwich itself doesn't use it anymore, so GMT is an anachronism. If anyone from the vicinity of Greenwich would like to correct me, please do.
