Swatch Internet Time
What would the internet time be when GMT areas are on BST? Surely you mean accept UTC time.

GMT doesn't change twice a year. GMT doesn't mean "the time people in Greenwich observe", it means, roughly, the solar mean time of Greenwich.

Who uses GMT in the summer? My bigger point is that metrologists and/or people that care about time use UTC not GMT.
