Tell HN: Happy New Year

Re:Tell HN: Happy New Year by lb1lf on Saturday December 31, 2022 @06:27PM (#34201807)

Norway entered the new year 27 minutes ago (though my particular little nook is squarely in the GMT zone, details, schmetails.)

Happy New Year to all - let's hope 2023 proves less eventful than 2022 was (for all the wrong reasons)

Apologies for the confusion - what I was clumsily trying to bring across was that while all of Norway is in GMT+1, the westernmost parts ought really be in the same zone as the UK, seeing as we're at 6E or so.

Worse for the people up north, though - the town of Kirkenes right next to our border with Russia is actually east of Istanbul. They, too, are in GMT+1.
