I asked him for more, and he wrote by private mail:
I heard it on today's noon BBC news broadcast. It seems to be a
millennium celebration project so that this town (on the east coast)
can have bragging rights to starting the new year 2000 before
Greenwich. Should be in tomorrow's papers, and maybe in the
electronic equivalent of same (Guardian, Daily Telegraph, Evening
Standard?)
He'll see if he can dig up more, and I thought I'd alert the tz list too.
(I wonder what the EU will have to say about this. :-)
