    For the connoisseurs of olde time stamps:

    The "LMT location" for backzone/Europe/Guernsey is given
    as "49.27N -2.33E" -- seemingly in degrees and decimal
    fractions of degrees. But the point ( +49.27°, -2.33° ) =
    ( +49°16′12″, -002°19′48″ ) is in open waters about
    15 km south of Guernsey and east of Sark in the Channel.

    The point ( +49°27′, -002°33′ ), however, is in St Peter Port
    on the island, so that arc minutes and not hundredths of
    degrees must be meant. This also agrees with zone.tab.

    Hence:
       -# LMT Location - 49.27N -2.33E - St.Peter Port
       +# LMT Location - 49°27′N -2°33′E - St.Peter Port

       -Zone    Europe/Guernsey -0:09:19 -      LMT     1913 Jun 18
       +Zone    Europe/Guernsey -0:10:12 -      LMT     1913 Jun 18
