No, the Brit thought he was scheduling it for 3pm on his wall clock, because he thought "GMT means the time we use here in London" but London was actually using BST that day. Source: have seen this from many many coworkers who should know better.
- StavrosK 8y agoYep. As well as a bunch of "10 AM PST" when they meant PDT. Nowadays I have to correct everyone as to their timezone.
- dmurray 8y agoIf they use PST in the summer you can be pretty sure they mean PDT, at least, especially if you are somewhere where the abbreviation is unambiguously US Pacific Standard Time. With GMT/UTC there's some chance they were trying to express the time in a "standardized" way.
- StavrosK 8y agoYes, if you're already familiar with PDT... Not so much if someone says "X AM PST" and you just plug it into your calendar.
