Seriously? This side discussion started because of a suggestion that
some people might not find it odd to call a time zone for France
"Eastern European time". I don't have particularly high expectations of
politicians' knowledge either, as a general rule, but I do think it is
fair to say that any EU politicians and bureaucrats involved will be
aware that France is not in the eastern portion of Europe by any
definition!!!
But we are getting totally off topic here - no more from me on this aspect!
