    What time is it please?

    Can anyone enlighten me as to why todays football match at Sunderland is advertised by the BBC as starting at 15.00 BST?

    i know its a long way north(!) but last I looked the UK was working on GMT at present.

    I hope nobody gets their travel arrangements wrong as a result.

    Is this, i wonder, part of an agenda to get permanent BST?

            It is summer here in Sunderland I sit looking out at daffodils and this morning it was so mild the heating didn't come on! I know that it's tough down souff though!

                Cornwall, dull, wet but mild all day but just cleared to an interesting sky for sunset. We've currently got flowers from a mixture of seasons.

                    they are presumably the citeh fans who have migrated from Blackburn or whoever else over the years!
                    Unbelievable.

                      Seems some of the top 4 premiership clubs are in crisis - How we supporters of more lowly clubs would like that kind of crisis!
