Silly time-zone question

[nexus7]

Don't know if this should go here or in OffTopic... This may sound a silly question :D but I always thought that MA's time was one hour ahead of UK time because they're in Sweden, right - but on various EU related sites that I've seen now and then, the time for MA is shown as one hour behind UK. Which is the right one?

MA time is equal to GMT, (or UTC if you insist on ignoring hundreds of years of history).
BST (British summer time) is GMT+1, so the UK is one hour in front of GMT, and therefore game time.

It does make things much easier in the winter here in the UK as then MA time is the same as local time, during summer I tend to miss things or arrive two hours early as I have calculated the wrong way.

Great - that's cleared that up, I'd forgotten about the BST equalling GMT+1. So, EU game time is not the same as MA/Gothenberg time, because isn't Sweden 1 hour ahead of even BST, but I suppose that's something else...
