  1.30am Friday, for me--roger that. 9.30 am your time, is impact time--won't you be at work?

    Sorry, slight time miscalulation, 6.30am your time, so you're good.

      Oh, I'm tried today, got it all backward! Ugh! I hate that. They're backwards from me, so it'll be 7.30am my time, 11.30 am your time---that's right, trust me.
      
      It's a pain in the arse living in a country with six different time zones, trust me!

      I make it 11:15 BST for the start of the coverage until 12:30 BST for the impacts. (UT being Universal Time, which is roughly equivalent to Greenwich Mean Time, and British Summer Time is GMT+1)

  Oh, six different time zones--and two states that change time zones at whim. (for instance, Arizona sometimes is on Pacific time, and sometimes on Mountain time), and a state or two, who don't observe daylight savings time, and some states are so big, they have two different time zones!
  
  Pain in the arse for call centre workers in the US, trust me.

    I can imagine!
    
    Almost as much of a pain as having an important astronomical event happening just as I'm due to go on my lunch break!
