I finally found a readable copy of the UK DNA study map. It is in the March 2015 newsletter (number 6) of the People of the British Isles web site, in a PDF file. The URL is: http://www.peopleofthebritishisles.org/nl6.pdf The PDF file of the newsletter has 10 pages. The map is on page 4, immediately after this text: "The first and most striking observation is the extraordinary correspondence between the genetic clusters and geographical location. Most obvious at a first glance is the distinctiveness of the genetic clusters in Orkney, which is perhaps not surprising given that Orkney was a Norse Earldom for several hundred years. Also striking is the clear separation of the Welsh clusters (green and pink squares, yellow inverted triangles) from the rest of the UK, and the extraordinary separation between Cornwall (pink crosses) and Devon (blue circles)."  

Here is a link to a BBC web page, which does contain a small non-enlargable copy of the map of the entire study area (UK). So far I have not found a site that has the map at a size where you can actually read it, although the small sized map's colors do clearly show Cornwall and Devon as unique from both each other and from the rest. http://m.bbc.com/news/science-environment-31905764 The article includes this text: "There is also a marked division between the people of Cornwall and Devon that almost exactly matches the county border. And the People of Devon are distinct again to those from neighbouring Dorset."

ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS - Mr. HERBERT TAYLER, son of Mr. TAYLER, F.R.C.S., of Tywardreath, has just passed the Anatomical and Physiological examinations of the Royal College of Surgeons. He has recently been selected by the lecturers of the Middlesex Hospital to dissect for the Royal College examinations, each London hospital having been requested to nominate a student for that office. We observe that Dr. W. BONNETT DALBY, late of Penzance, has had the honour of being elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. …............................................................ THE DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLAND - A public dinner to the friends and tenantry of his Grace the Duke of Northumberland took place on Wednesday, at the Northumberland Arms, Launceston. Dr. WRIGHT, Mayor of Launceston, presided. After the usual loyal toasts, the chairman called on Dr. PETHICK to propose the health of his Grace, who in his address adverted to the kind hospitalities of the Duke and Duchess during their occasional visits to the neighbourhood. The best understanding and the most friendly feeling had long continued to exist between his Grace and his numerous tenantry, and in very many cases the same families had been the occupants of the same estates for successive generations. He then adverted to the long existing connection between the house of Northumberland and that neighbourhood, and the great benefits which had resulted from that connection. The Duke's health was then drunk with loud and long continued cheers; "The Duchess," "the member for the borough of Launcesto! n," "the Duke's steward," and other toasts were afterwards drunk with many warm demonstrations of pleasure. ….......................................................... DR. PUSEY - The Rev. Dr. PUSEY, accompanied by some ladies (Sisters of Mercy) have taken the house at Alverton, Penzance, formerly occupied by Mrs. WILLIAM PEAL, and will reside in that town for a short time.

CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS - We have received a letter from an attorney's clerk, in which he strongly urges upon the gentlemen of the legal profession the propriety of giving their clerks a holiday on the Monday succeeding Christmas-day. He says that if this suggestion should be complied with, those clerks whose parents reside at a distance, would be able to pay them a visit; all would have three days for rest, refreshment, and enjoyment; and the result would be that both employers and employes would be benefited, as the latter would be able afterwards to work the harder for the relaxation. …................................................... CHRISTMAS CATTLE MARKET - LOSTWITHIEL CHRISTMAS CATTLE MARKET- CORN AND ROOT EXHIBITION . The seventh annual meeting of this society was held on Wednesday, the 15th instant, and was considered one of the best shows ever seen in the county. Mr. FOSTER, of Castle, exhibited a most superior North Devon ox, which sold at four guineas per cwt. Mr. ANSTEY, of Menabilly, exhibited a very superior North Devon cow, which was greatly admired, and obtained the first prize. The second prize cow, exhibited by Mr. SHORT, of Restormel, was sold at GBP 3.15s per cwt; and the third prize cow, exhibited by Mr. NICHOLLS, of Lostwithiel, was sold at GBP 3.13s.6d per cwt.

NICHOLLS, of Lostwithiel, a pen of wethers, which were greatly admired, both as to condition and breed. . The show was one of the largest and best ever exhibited at Lostwithiel, and nearly all of the cattle and sheep were sold, so many as sixty sheep to one person. The umpires only regretted that no more prizes were offered, as there were so many more deserving animals worthy of prizes, which they said would have done credit to Smithfield. The corn and roots shown were of superior quality, exceeding those exhibited in former years. . The dinner was held at Tabb's Talbot Hotel, and among those present were Sir COLMAN RASHLEIGH, Bart., (chairman) Mr. ROBARTES, M.P., Mr. KENDALL, M.P., Mr. C.B.G.

COLUMB CHRISTMAS CATTLE MARKET - The Christmas Exhibition of Fat Stock was held on Tuesday last, and, although there were not quite so many entries for prizes as last year, in consequence of the third Tuesday falling in Christmas week, and several of the first class animals, having been previously sold, were disqualified. …....................................................................

THE CASE OF MARY UREN - We stated last week some particulars of the case of Mary Uren, of Penzance, a miserly woman, who before her death, it is said, disclosed to one of the town missionaries that she had a store of money by her. Mr. DEAN, one of the missionaries, now states this information was incorrect so far as concerns the town missionaries. …................................................................... BUDE - The continued ground sea on this coast prevents any vessel from entering into or departing from the port. ….................................................................. EMIDY'S CIRCUS - This circus (as will be seen, by an advertisement) is now performing at Truro, and has already gained the reputation of having the cleverest performers that have visited Truro for a long time. The riding of the horsemen and women, the gymnastic feats, the fun of the clowns, and other amusements have greatly entertained large numbers of spectators. Novelties are announced by Mr. Emidy for the Christmas holiday season. ….................................................................. TRURO POLICE - On Monday, JOHN ASHBOURN, labourer, residing at Chapel-hill, Truro, was charged before Mr. CHAPPEL, magistrate, with having stolen a quantity of lead, of the value of 4s., the property of the Rev. J. DAUBUZ, of Killiow. Recently Superintendent NASH and P.C. GAY, on visiting the shops of the marine store dealers in Truro, discovered a quantity of sheet lead, and suspecting that it had been stolen, they took portions of it with them. On inquiry they ascertained that it had been stolen from the premises of Mr. Daubuz. The prisoner, who had been in Mr. Daubuz's employ for several years as a labourer, was suspected, and on Sunday last he was apprehended. When brought before Mr. Chappel he stated that he had found the lead in a yard adjoining his master's house, but Mr. Nash proved that pieces of the lead corresponded exactly with portions left on Mr. Daubuz's premises from whence lead had been stolen, and Mr. GERRISH, builder, Carnon Downs, identified it as part of! that which had been taken away. The prisoner was remanded till Tuesday, and on being again brought up on that day, he pleaded guilty to the charge, and asked the magistrate to dispose of his case summarily, instead of committing him to the sessions at Bodmin for trial. He was again remanded till Thursday, on which day he was sentenced to two months' hard labour. …............................................................ FALMOUTH POLICE -  At the Guildhall, before Mr. MOORMAN, mayor, and Mr. ROGERS, magistrate, Capt. ROYSSE, of the barque "Selertia," was summoned to answer RICHARD RABIN, steward of the barque, for nonpayment of wages. Complainant stated that he was ill, and not fit to proceed on the voyage, and he produced a medical certificate describing his complaint. The captain stated in defence, that the steward had signed the ship's articles to go to the port of discharge; he had got his orders from London, and with a fair wind would reach there in a few days; he would take care that the complainant was not put to hard work on the passage up channel. The bench considered the defendant able to proceed, and ordered him on board. [actually, it was the complainant] . JOHN LYNDON, a seaman, was summoned by Capt. DOUGLAS, of the barque “Resolution,” for having refused to proceed to sea after signing articles. The magistrates ordered him on board to proceed on the voyage. . WILLIAM JOHNSON summoned WILLIAM MILDRAM, master of the barque "Exchange," of Shields, for an assault. The captain was also summoned for nonpayment of complainant's wages. The magistrates, after hearing the evidence, considered the assault very slight; they ordered the captain to pay the costs, dismissed the summons for wages, and ordered the man on board. ….......................................................... SMUGGLING TOBACCO - At the Guildhall, Falmouth, before Mr. MOORMAN, mayor, and Mr. ROGERS, magistrate,  on Wednesday last, Mr. F. SWATMAN, collector of H.M. Customs at that port, appeared, pursuant to directions from the commissioners of customs, to prefer a charge against JOHN LUNDQUIST, chief mate of a Swedish vessel, for smuggling tobacco. . Mr. BANKS, tide surveyor, deposed as follows: I boarded the vessel which defendant was mate of, and found concealed in the cargo of grain 16 lbs of manufactured tobacco buried about two feet below the surface. I had previously inquired if all the tobacco was in the ship's manifest, and was informed it was so. The prisoner subsequently acknowledged that the tobacco was his, and that he had put it there. The prisoner made no defence. He was fined GBP100, and in default of payment, was sentenced to be imprisoned for six months. …......................................................... CHARGE OF ASSAULT - On Saturday, JOHN CORIN, of Ludgvan, farmer, was charged before Mr. T. S. BOLITHO, and Mr. J. SCOBELL, county magistrates, under the following circumstances: He was taken into custody on Friday afternoon, on a charge of drunkenness and also for an assault on the Rev. A. PARIS, rector of Ludgvan. He was at Ludgvan church-town, drunk, and entered the back part of the vicarage, but was ejected by the servants. A short time after, Mrs. Paris, on looking out of one of the front windows, saw him coming along the drive. She hastened to close the front door, but Corin came up and burst it in, using at the same time very impertinent language to Mrs. Paris. Two men who happened to be at work near got him out. Mr. Paris was not then home. He returned shortly after and Corin again came to the house, used improper language, and was at last given into the custody of P.C. MERRIFIELD. In consequence of Corin's large family - it was mentioned that his wife had recently be! en confined of her 14th child - the Rev. A. PARIS declined to press the charge. The Bench, however, fined him 5s. and costs, and intimated that had not the Rector shown the very greatest forbearance, Corin would have been summarily committed for 14 days. …..................................................... PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE - On Tuesday last, just before the dinner hour, while the masons were at work on the new buildings at the White Hart Hotel, St. Austell, a large portion of the wall fell, but fortunately the men saw their danger and got out of the way, otherwise the loss of life might have been serious. This is the second time the wall has given way. …........................................................................... SUDDEN DEATH - On Wednesday last, at St. Austell, an inquest was held on FRANCIS BASSET, who was found dead in bed on the previous morning. Deceased, who was an upholster, was a native of Truro, but in consequence of differences in his family, he left that town, and had been living for the last twelvemonths with a person of the name of SCANTLEBURY, at St. Austell. He went to bed apparently quite well on Sunday night, and on the following morning, he not having come down until eleven o'clock, Scantlebury went to his bedroom and found the sheet over his head. On turning it down, it was found he was dead. Mr. TUCKER, surgeon, was sent for, and stated that he had no doubt but that he had died from apoplexy. Verdict accordingly. ............................................................................... SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE - On Saturday morning last, about six o'clock, a vessel was seen in distress off the Cove of St. Loy, in the parish of Buryan, and she almost immediately struck on the shore. The captain, mate, and one sailor were drowned; two of the crew being saved. Their names were JOSEPH SYMONS and CHARLES WALMSLY, both of Plymouth, and their statement is as follows: . We left Newport at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon of Tuesday, the 14th of December, 1858, in the brigantine "Isabella," of Plymouth, of 120 tons register, and 187 tons of coal on board, for Plymouth. We were seamen on board: the crew consisted of the master, ROBERT WRIGHT, aged 34; the mate, JOHN WILLIAMS, aged 64, both of Plymouth; one seaman, ROBERT SMITH, of Sunderland, aged 24, and ourselves; the vessel was about 13 years old, and belonged to Mr. FRIEND, Mr. ANSEN, and others of Plymouth. We were off St. Ives on Wednesday night, but were driven back by a strong southerly gale, as far as off Ilfracombe. About 8:30 a.m. on Friday, the 17th, we rounded the Land's End under reefed topsail, mainsail, &c., with a heavy sea on, the wind blowing strong at S.S.W.; at 11 p.m. We took in the jib-boom and double reefed the topsail, and hove her off on the port tack, the Lizard lights in sight; at 1 a.m. Of the 18th, we split the square foresail and topmast-staysail, and, having se! cured them, we stowed the topsail, and about 2 o'clock we were hove to on the port tact, under the double-reefed mainsail. We then pumped the ship out, and at 4 o'clock the watch (the Captain, Symons, and Smith) went below. At five o'clock a light was seen on the starboard beam, the ship heading W.S.W., and immediately afterwards the land, under the lee bow. All hands were roused at once, and we set the jib and topsails, and split mainstay-sail, and tried to stay her, but she refused three times following, and there was no room to wear. . We then got the boat out, but stove her in getting her over the side; we put four oars into her, and all hands got in, the captain last, and then left the vessel, but, finding the boat filling fast, we pulled back to the vessel, and Smith went on board for a bucket, but could not find one. Then the captain went on board and threw in a bucket, and jumped in himself. The sea then took the boat and carried her round  under the ship's bows and stove her. . We both succeeded in getting back to the ship; but the sea swamped the boat, which disappeared at about 20 yard distance, and both the captain and mate were drowned, about 10 minutes after the ship struck, at which time Smith and ourselves were all forward. Smith went aft to look for a hatch to float ashore on, but was quickly washed overboard and drowned. . I, Joseph Symons, got on the bowsprit, and, being unable to swim, dropped from the jib-boom and on the top of a wave, and was carried in on the rocks; whilst I, Charles Walmsly, stripped myself naked and got into the fore-rigging, and, on the masts falling, swam for the shore. We were both picked up and kindly taken care of by some people who, hearing us shouting before the ship struck, had come down to render assistance. They took us to their houses and supplied us with food and raiment, and dispatched an express to Penzance for Mr. RICHARD PEARCE, Lloyd's Agent, who was soon on the spot, and gave all needful directions. . The boat had quite disappeared, and the ship is broken into more than a thousand pieces. The bodies of the captain, mate, and Smith were washed in on Sunday morning. We may add that both survivors were naked and destitute. Their wants were attended to by Mr. R. Perce, of Penzance, who procured a suit of clothing for each, as agent to the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Society. …................................................................. . THE RECENT GALES - SHIPPING DISASTERS - During several nights of the past week violent storms have raged on the coast of Cornwall. A casualty occurred in the loss of Capt. JAMES HAY, of Perth, who was making his first voyage in the schooner "Isabella Millar," and was from Mazagan [?] for Liverpool (last from Plymouth) with a cargo of Indian corn. At 6 a.m. on the 18th, while the gale was at its height, the captain found himself among breakers in Mounts Bay. In the hurry to make sail, to endeavour to haul off the land, he ran forward on the bowsprit to cut the jib stops, was swept off by a sea, and never seen again. We are sorry to add that he leaves a widow. . Another disaster occurred to the lugger, “L'Exovienne," of Paimboeuf, Captain JEAN BAPTISTE LAHAYE, who left Nazaire about nine o'clock on Thursday morning with 70 tons of potatoes for Monsieur BICHON, of Falmouth. She was caught in the gale and driven on shore at Praa Sands, about six o'clock on Friday morning, but her crew, five in number, fortunately effected a landing. The hull, rigging, &c., were to be sold, as well as 60 tons of potatoes, which were saved. …................................................................. . COUNTY COURT AT FALMOUTH This court was held at the Polytechnic Hall on Tuesday last. There were three adjournments, 17 summonses for commitment, and 64 original plaints entered on the record, several of which were settled out of court and by consent. Amongst those tried were the following: . QUICK and Others v. WM. HAWKE - This was an action brought to recover the sum of GBP 3.10s for the use of an entire horse and groom. From the evidence it appeared that the plaintiffs are proprietors of the horse "Scrope," and defendant was the owner of an entire horse called "William Rufus," which was accidentally killed last season. Defendant had the use of "Scrope" to supply the place of "William Rufus," and the plaintiffs now sought to recover the above sum for the use of the horse. . Defendant stated that the horse was lent to him out of good nature, as was the custom in like cases, and he called Mr. SPARKS, of Truro, who said that he considered it was customary in cases of this kind to assist each other, and that he had given and received assistance in cases of accidents to horses, without any remuneration. Several other witnesses were called, when the Judge said he should take time to consider the case, and would give him judgment next court. Mr. DAVIES, of Penzance, appeared for plaintiffs, and Mr. TILLY for defendant. . JOHN BISHOP v LAWRENCE - This action was brought to recover GBP 4 balance due for a cow sold to defendant. Mr. GENN appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. TILLY for defendant. After some consultation, this case was referred to Mr. EDWARD DOBLE, of Trefusis, farmer. . CHARLES RICHARDS v. JOSEPH BANNISTER - This was an action brought to recover GBP 6 for the damage of a boat belonging to plaintiff, while lying at her moorings in Falmouth harbour, on the 13th November last.  . Mr. Genn, who appeared for the plaintiff, called Mr. JOSEPH HALY, shipwright, who deposed as follows: I remember the 13th November last; saw the plaintiff's boat at her moorings, and the defendant's sloop drop alongside of her, and Mr. BLAMEY's barge. It was blowing strong from the E.S.E.; could not say whether or not the vessel touched the plaintiff's boat; she might have done so; I have seen the boat since; I think it would cost GBP 5 to repair her; heard the defendant say that his sloop had sprung a leak, and that he and his two men were 48 hours pumping; believed she had started a "butt" and I have no doubt she was in a sinking state when defendant ran the sloop ashore. . THOS. SCANTLEBURY, a boatman, was called, and deposed as follows: I remember the 13th of November last; was employed pumping the defendant's sloop; she was in a sinking state. I saw Blamey's barge alongside, but I don't think we did any harm to her. I did not take notice of plaintiff's boat; did see her alongside the quay; I considered it would be unsafe to hoist canvas on the sloop at the time. . Mr. PALMER, clerk at the Custom House, Falmouth, was called and said he saw from his house on Pike's Hill a good deal of what took place; saw the sloop and barge and some boats together; saw the plaintiff's boat damaged; would not swear exactly how she got damaged, whether it was by the sloop or otherwise, but she was undoubtedly damaged in the collision. . Mr. TILLY, who appeared for defendant, contended that whatever damage was done, was by accident over which his client had no control, and therefore no blame could be attributed to defendant; he was obliged to run the sloop ashore to save her and the lives of those on board. . The Judge said the plaintiff had not made out his case to his satisfaction, and he gave judgment for the defendant. …............................... . CORONER'S INQUESTS . DEATH OF MR. T. AVERY OF BOSCASTLE - On Tuesday last, an inquest was held before Mr. E. G. HAMLEY, county coroner, at Boscastle, on the body of Mr. THOMAS RICKARD AVERY, who was found dead in bed on the previous morning. The deceased gentleman was 74 years of age, and always enjoyed excellent health. On Sunday night he went to bed about ten o'clock quite well. His servants, who slept in an adjoining room, heard him get out of bed about five in the morning, and return to his bed again, heaving a deep sigh. They then got up and went down stairs to attend to their household duties. . Shortly after they came down, some person in the employ of the deceased called at the house to say one of Mr. Avery's vessels was adrift,and desired the servant to acquaint her master with the fact. She went to his bedroom door and knocked several times. She then called her fellow servant, and they opened the door and spoke several times, but could get no answer. They became alarmed, and one of them ran to captain BELLAMY, who lived close by, and the other went for Mr. WADE, surgeon. Captain Bellamy immediately went to the bedroom, and it was then discovered that he was quite dead, with his hand under his head. Mr. KING, of Camelford, who had been Mr. Avery's medical attendant for a number of years, said he had been called by deceased about a fortnight ago, and then found him suffering from indigestion, but that he soon recovered. He stated that he had not the slightest doubt but that deceased had died from an affection of the heart. . The coroner told the jury that after hearing the evidence of the servants and Mr. King, there could be no doubt but the deceased gentleman had died from natural causes. It would of course be impossible to state the exact cause of death without a post mortem examination being made, but he apprehended the jury were quite satisfied, from what they had heard, that he had died from natural causes. The jury returned a verdict to that effect. . MINE ACCIDENT - An inquest was held by Mr. HICHENS, county coroner, on the 17th instant, in the parish of Illogan, on the body of WILLIAM ROGERS, aged 17 years, whose death occurred at North Basset Mine, in that parish, on the 14th, by reason of his falling into a winze whilst in the act of stepping into a kibble, for the purpose of being let down thereby. Verdict, "accidental death". . On the 20th instant, in the parish of St. Buryan, on the bodies of ROBERT WRIGHT, the master, JOHN WILLIAMS, the mate, and ROBERT SMITH, one of the crew of a vessel called the "Isabella," of Plymouth, which was unfortunately wrecked at St. Loy, or Paynter's Cove, in Buryan parish, on the morning of Saturday the 18th instant. An account of this shipwreck is given in another paragraph. Verdict, “accidentally drowned.” ….............................................................. . LETTERS TO THE EDITORS THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S SARCOPHAGUS . Sir - Allow me, through your columns, to correct an impression that prevails relative to the porphyry rock, out of which was hewn the Duke of Wellington's sarcophagus. . I have seen it stated in the newspapers that the porphyry was taken from the quarries of Mr. TREFFRY, whereas it was wrought from a rock on the Menabilly estate, and generously given for the purpose by the late WILLIAM RASHLEIGH, Esq., as a small tribute of the deep veneration he entertained for the Great Warrior, whose remains are consequently entombed in Cornish porphyry. . The execution of the work was undertaken and partially carried out by the Trustees of the late Mr. Treffry, of Place, and successfully completed by the present possessor of the Treffry estates. . I am, sir, your obedient servant, . WM. E. GEACH Penellick, Fowey, December 16, 1858 …................................................................ CHURCH MISSIONS IN CORNWALL - A correspondent calls attention to the urgent necessity for all well-wishers of the Church to aid in supplying a spiritual want existing in the parish of Calstock, in this country. . The rector has to cope with a population of about 8,000 souls, most of whom have been recently attracted thither by tin and copper mines, of which none are now paying any dividend. This population is scattered over an area of 6,133 acres, containing two towns and fifteen distinct hamlets. The parish church - capable of containing a congregation of 480 - is situated at the top of a steep hill, at one end of the parish, and is practically inaccessible to the bulk of the inhabitants. The only church accommodation for the town of Gunnislake, distant nearly three miles from the parish church, is a chapel recently purchased from the Baptists, and capable of containing 150 persons, which is now attended by overflowing congregations. . The numerous accidents to the miners, rendering life more than ordinarily precarious, the hitherto neglected state of the parish, the area over which the population is scattered, and the utterly inadequate amount of church accommodation, or means of affording religious instruction to the young, render it a matter of importance that more ministerial labour should be supplied. . It is proposed to form a district parish, build a church and endow it; also to build suitable schools, in which – in addition to adult evening classes, and cottage lectures – evening services may be held for the benefit of the mining population. . Few places in England can show so large a population so ill-supplied with means of learning the saving truths of the Gospel; or a population which is, from its poverty, so little able to support funds for carrying out any plan for permanently supplying its own spiritual wants. The means at the disposal of the rector are exceedingly limited; his living being burdened with an annual payment of GBP 300; and the liberality of the parishioners, and of his own immediate friends have been, during the last year, taxed to a considerable amount, for the purpose of building the present large and efficient schools for one portion of the parish. The Bishop of the diocese, Mr. Justice ERLE, Mr. ROBARTES, M.P., and others acquainted with the locality, and with the necessity of the case lend their cordial support.

Hi Nivard I don't want to correct you - just add to your considerable knowledge. For time differences between locations around the world I always use: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ I deal with many different countries and find this site useful. To see the actual time zone map: http://www.timeanddate.com/time/map/ I live in Melbourne, Australia and the notion of time differences between AU eastern states is somewhat confusing in our summer. The eastern states, Tasmania (Hobart), Victoria (Melbourne), ACT (Canberra) and NSW (Sydney) adjust clocks for summer time. (Thank god now they now do it on the same day! In the recent past they adjusted their clocks on different dates!) Queensland (Brisbane) doesn't. Never has. Their reasoning was either that their curtains would fade with the extra hour of daylight (?) or their cows would be confused what time to come to the sheds for milking. Anyway, the notion of AEST in summer in Australia doesn't apply. To add to the confusion we have two "states", one directly north of the other. Northern Territory (Darwin) and South Australia (Adelaide). They have a half hour time difference with the eastern States, and one state adjusts for Daylight Saving/Summer time, and the other doesn't. HTH, Alan.

Thanks Alan Always happy to learn :-) I tend to only need a rough guide for most things but should I need something more precise I will follow your suggestion It doesn't come up very often really which is odd given the way we converse across the planet day to day A wonderful medium to have at our fingertips eh Knowing how useful it is I have long had a pet plan that all should have the ability/facility to use the internet, particularly the old who are unable to get out and around, I know a lot who are stuck inside with no one to talk to, I feel sure they would benefit a great deal from it Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 06/03/2015 14:23, Alan Pine wrote: > Hi Nivard > > I don't want to correct you - just add to your considerable knowledge. > > For time differences between locations around the world I always use: > http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ > I deal with many different countries and find this site useful. > > To see the actual time zone map: > http://www.timeanddate.com/time/map/ > > I live in Melbourne, Australia and the notion of time differences > between AU eastern states is somewhat confusing in our summer.

Mr Google is very useful for this sort of enquiry A google for AEST to GMT gets :- Australian Eastern Standard Time is 10 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time 23:15 Thursday, Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) is 13:15 Thursday, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) Also very useful for pounds to dollars or Australian dollars to pounds etc Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 05/03/2015 11:08, johntyhurst@sky.com wrote: > AEST is Australian Eastern Standard Time obviously that would not be > 10pm British time, any suggestions please > > John Tyhurst
