Very good point. How can I set the /zone value for 'now to GMT?

Since different places shift to `summer time' on different days, it's
pretty
dangerous to relate times city/city (where you are subject to the vagueries
of when both shift). Generally basing times off UTC at least stands the
chance
of being able to keep your head straight, and only worry about one thing at
at time...
