Astronomical Clock
Can our British Government be more stupid & ignorant than this?
* Summer time started,
* I was shocked to see that the summer time applied on BIG BEN, so it shows the UK local time.
* Doing that to BIG BEN is unforgivable historical, astronomecal, touristirical & universal mistake. AS THAT STRIPPING BIG BEN OF ITS UNIVERSAL LAND MARK & IMPORTANT PROPERTY OF SHOWING GMT (Greenwhich mean time), WHICH IS THE BASE FOR ALL ASTRONOMICAL & UNIVERSAL CALCULATIONS.
* All ships around the world adjust & synchronize their chronometers with BIG BEN on exact hour rings, so to get the exact universal time to the second, so to get their astronomical calculations right.
* By doing that to BIG BEN, it is became same like TESCO STORE TOWER CLOCK! & it lost its universal value!
*** Every educated person, English or coming from abroad expects to see GMT shown by BIG BEN! ONLY IGNORANT PEOPLE DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS MATTER!!
THE BIG BEN BELL RINGS ALWAYS REPRESENT THE ON THE HOUR GMT TIME.
Absolutely! And it's all the fault of Tony Blair. Or Gordon Brown, or David Cameron. Er.. no it's the EU making us do it. Hang on, it's illegal immigrants making this assault on our heritage.
But you've had the real answer, haven't you? The clock on St Stephen's Tower has always shown local time.
Ships don't adjust according to this clock, they adjust to local time using GPS and radio controlled satellite links. GMT and this clock are unrelated.
You sir, are a fool.
