I asked this not because I'm silly fool or smth like that. I was in London last summer and I remember rightly that difference between Moscow time and London time was 3 Hours. But now it is 4! Why is it so?
What makes you think that? The time difference between Moscow and London is three hrs at any time of the year. Britain as well as Russia changes the time twice a year.
Day saving time is in effect.Quote:

Well, we know this! :wink: Have you gone to the link given by BladeStuckin I did a few minutes ago and according to the info on this site, London is three hrs behind Moscow now, so everything seems to be ok. As far as I'm aware, Britain also adjusts the time. Though I've said this already.
Erm no. You said it was 10pm in Russia. It was 7 in London.Quote:

You are probably confused.
Moscow is now 4 hours ahead of GMT. But London is now GMT+1 since it is now on British summer time (BST).
e.g. a month ago Moscow at GMT+3, London was GMT
then they both put the clocks forward an hour, so
Moscow is now GMT+4 and London is GMT+1
October - March: Moscow is GMT+3, UK is GMT
March - October: Moscow is GMT+4, UK is GMT+1
Always 3 hour difference.
I was actually at the Royal Observatory at Greenwich (as in Greenwich Mean Time), London, yesterday and they have this line where 0 degrees is.
These aren't my photos cos I left my camera at home, but these are the photos I would have taken:

I don't believe they are real :o)
But I listened to BBC World Service about 2 weeks ago and it was 4 h. difference :o . I remember it perfectly
They lied.Quote:

ТАТУ, you pictures are very nice :thumbs:
The only explanation I can think is that the Russians put their clocks forwards an hour a bit earlier than the UK.
I still think you are just confused.
He was listening to the radio on the night of the 26th of March. after the clocks had changed in Russia, but before they'd changed in Blighty.
4 hour difference.
Simple.
Next!
Another time related question: Is it common to say it is 0:15 (etc) in russia? Is 0 the same as 12 midnight?
Are you talking about the 24 hour clock. On TV, and other official times are given in 24 form.
It's quite common to say: it's 0.15am in Russian. You can also say: it's 12.15am now but the way I see it it's not quite as common as 0.15 though.Quote:
