Interesting fact - it was not midnight in Greenwich at the Unix epoch because the UK Government coincidently ran an experiment with staying on British Summer Time the whole year round from 1968 to 1971.
This lead to one of the hardest to track down bugs I ever encountered (ultimately came down to LocalTime(0, "London") coming out as 01:00 when 00:00 was expected)
