Zoom in on 
http://maps.derickrethans.nl/?l=timezone,timezones&lat=52.485&lon=-1.890&zoom=4 
the entire database of shape files needs to be replaced with the administrative 
boundaries from the OSM database, but that would make the shape files 
considerably larger than they are and the target for that database is not such a 
fine level of information!

Just as are telling me on time management, you have to know the limitations of 
the data.
