It all Gets very Confusing

Its Autumn (fall) right. You'll think this a strange observation,
Paulo but I notice that on the bottom of each page it says on my PC "all times are GMT" or words to that effect.
Curiously, the time shown is the current correct time in
UK which is not GMT because we have not changed yet to the fall day light saving time; now daylight saving time is actually GMT
and the time shown on the screen is actually BST (British Summer time). This all gets confusing; we get confused by EST and all US time zones. Winter time (GMT) will take effect, I think, on the last Sunday of October at 2am.
Mainland Western Europe (except Portugal) are on CET
Central European Time and Portugal and her islands are also on
the same time zone as the UK.
We've had an exceptionally dry and sunny and warm Sept here
and I guess Italy, Germany, Czech Republic and France have
needed some dry weather!
All of this is way off subject, but, Hi Guys, whatever the time is!
