To Paul's list of time zone information on the web, I would add the following URL:
http://www.dhl.com/dhl/dhlinfo/1bb.html
or more simply:
http://www.dhl.com/
This is run by DHL (the courier company), and it presents a list of the
countries served by that company. If you then click on a particular
country, here's an example of what you'll see (graphics stripped out):
United Kingdom
HOLIDAYS: Jan 1, 2, Apr 14, 17, May 1, 29, Aug 28, Dec 25, 26
INTERNATIONAL DIALING CODE: +44
CURRENT LOCAL TIME: 09:41 Monday 6 November 1995
I find this rather handy, and given that DHL covers 217 countries and
territories, it's pretty comprehensive coverage.
(I have no idea what system DHL is using to calculate the local time, but
it's been accurate so far.)
