Dear Mr Taz,

Why does it say it's 8:07 pm on the forum when the actual time is 9:05 pm. Surely in these days of technological mastery this is a simple thing to fix. Ergo, you must be a lazy bastard.

You should see your timezone in the top right hand corner below the menu bar.
If it doesn't read "All times are UTC [DST]", change the timezone in your profile area.

Coordinated Universal Time. It's the internet standard time. The words got moved around as a compromise between English and French speakers.

You learn something pointless every day.

Apologies Taz!

Annoyingly you can't just set it to British time, though. Meaning you have to change your time setting when the clocks go back/forward manually, or just leave it on UTC. Bah.

No, it'll sort itself out. Trust me on this.
