Yes, but given we're in the throes of timezone mutilation for the purposes of 
playing a longer game of golf, I'm not sure what the offset is, nor what it 
will be by then.

If you pick the translation into local now, for most folk in Europe, it'll 
give you 1700. By Wednesday 6th November, it'll be 1800. I think.

For UK folk, it'll be 1700. (Which I get by entering Vancouver as the timezone 
in Google calendar).

Did I mention I hate daylight savings time?

Dave.
