Spain is also in the "wrong" timezone. It's directly south of Britain and should fit in the +0000 timezone, but politics and history put it in the same timezone as France (which should also be in +0000) and Germany.

That's true but most people still start work at 9am though.

I think it used to be more common to start at 10am, but not anymore.
