This is a question Amazing displays of ignorance

Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

Not too many moons ago
I was whiling my hours away chatting online to a funny but quite dizzy blond girl. We chatted about all sorts, but one slow evening the topic of conversation turned to sunset times (life of the party me). Me at the time living in the Midlands, her, living on the south coast.

I was slightly bored so I decided to tell her about how the country being as large as it is was split into time zones, and that the Midlands were actually half an hour ahead of her, Scotland obviously being the top of the country was a full hour in advance.

I honestly have no idea who she told this to, but she did believe me later that week when I said I must go as it had just turned midnight, she responded with oh its still only 11.30 here. Oh dear. Luckily she was a hairdresser.

There is a sunset time difference of a few minutes
(something like 5 minutes from coast to coast).

Indeed.
Bristle has, I believe, the last clock with two minute hands, as it's 11 minutes different to London.

Trufax.
