See, you agree that Greenwich is not under GMT time half of the year.

That's all I am saying. You don't have to resort to name calling.

People use GMT because it's an unchanging timezone that's good for world-wide coordination. That it differs by fractional seconds from UTC is irrelevant in most cases.

Nobody but you seems to care about what time it is in Greenwich, including, it seems, other people who've lived in Greenwich. So GMT is fine.

Not really, it's just an utterly absurd thing to hang up on. Did you know that Greenwich, NY is also never under GMT for the whole year?
