*** NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

And for some others it is known as 1500 CET which is why I have suggested we
stop using CET unless we can do the simple sums:

See Wikpedia AGAIN...

*Central European Time* (*CET*), used in most of
Europe<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe>,
is one of the names of the time
zone<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone>that is 1 hour ahead of
Coordinated
Universal Time <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time>(UTC)/Greenwich
Mean Time <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich_Mean_Time>, with a time
offset <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_offset> of
UTC+1<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC%2B1>/GMT+1
(in winter).

Most EU member states have adopted the use of Central European Summer
Time<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_European_Summer_Time>(CEST)
daylight
saving time <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time> in summer,
with UTC+2 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC%2B2>.
CET IS NOT CEST
CET is NOT 2 HOURS ahead of UTC

PLEASE STOP USING CET WRONGLY.
