Let's have fun, once agn.

In fact, there is a difference btwn GMT & UTC. The reference time for GMT is 
12:00 noon, while for UTC it is 00:00

I yet had an interesting conversation abt GMT/UTC with some 10-X members after 
a paper issued in their mag stating GMT=UTC. Oh well, that's agn part 
of "anthology".

You can check :

and, for the fun :

So, in fact, the reference we are using should be called UTC only, as we assume 
our days to start at 00:00 and not at 12:00 noon.

Oh well, once agn my "devil's spirit" playing ...

72!
