I live in the region of Nantes, in June the Sun goes to sleep at 11pm. This is really stupid, France, Spain and Benelux should have the Universal Time because we are around Greenwich Meridian.

Economical reasons for non-island countries...
They are using CET/CEST, meaning GMT+1/GMT+2, which is a deprecated format btw. It's called UTC+1 and UTC+2

the sun doesn't sleep

It's actually called being right. It's a shame everyone else (except for Portugal) keeps being wrong.

Frogs and Span*ards are inferior to anglos

Because Hitler was Franco's wifu.

You know that we invented modern time zones right? GMT is called Greenwich meantime for a reason. I think Franco was annoyed at the UK at some point so he changed Spains from GMT to +1 in a display of classic small man syndrome

Only Portugal doesn't do this bullshit.

>redcoats unironically believe this
Time zones started because America needed to be able to do intercontinental train shit.

Economic reasons.

From a sunlight hours perspective it doesn't really matter as much as latitute. When it's 6pm here in winter the sun is still there whereas in England at 5pm is already night.

Also we actually follow GMT time as well... in the Canary Islands :b

Greenwich mean time (GMT) is deprecated...
>what is the coordinated universal time (UTC)

light blue = UTC+0 without daylight saving time (DST)
dark blue = UTC+0/1 (DST)
red = UTC+1/2 (DST)
light yellow = UTC+2 (no DST)
dark yellow = UTC+2/3 (DST)
light green = UTC+3 (no DST)

>what is the coordinated universal time (UTC)
Politically correct BS

Spain changed its timezone to be the same of Germany when it looked like Germany would rule all of Europe.

>majority of europe uses Central European Time
feels good to be Central European

I'm Greek

yeah, we also do everything 1-2 hours later so it doesn't matter in reality, we should embrace the european schedule instead of having the 2 hours pause during the midday, though

do you like lakes

Yes

Sorry, but Finland is Western Europe.

A FUCKING ROCK

Spain in trying so hard to fit in with Western Europe

>always get told sun is at it's highest at 12
>it's actually 13 because we added another hour
>no WAIT summertime +1 so it's actually 14 hours

big polish rock
