Time zones are difficult. But weren't you commenting on abolishing
them in Europe? If so, it would make more sense if the Irish went to
work at 11am and home at 8pm and the Russkis went to at 7am and from
at 3pm in the new unified time than the other way around. That would
be more in tune with the daylight hours.

Of course, it would make even more sense if they went home at 6 and
1pm respectively.
