actually, you did state summer/winter time for the US. you said EST = Eastern Standard Time. That's our "winter" time. ![tongue :p](http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
so CET is GMT+0100? all I know is I'm GMT-0600 as of Sunday morning. before it was just GMT-0500.
(Central time here)
The times Seeker gave are correct for both summer and winter - our clocks go back and forward, same as yours

The only time there is any variation is if one of us goes back/forward earlier or later than the other, which throws things out for a week or two.
GMT is a slightly different matter. Greenwich Mean Time is
fixed and always remains the same. In winter, the UK is on GMT (CET is GMT+1 hour), in summer we are on BST (British Summer Time) which is GMT+1 (CET is GMT+2 hours). This is where referring to GMT can get confusing...

Although I am in the UK, I am quite happy with times being given in Eastern (whatever) Time, as I know we are nearly always 5 hours ahead.
