I've just found this in one of the articles Mark points
me to:

"For astronomers a "day" begins at noon (GMT) and runs until
the next noon (so that the nighttime falls conveniently within
one "day", unless they are making their observations in a place
such as Australia)."

I could have predicted astronomers would be at the bottom of
this mess! :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. Here's what really scares me. Once you get used to
this weirdness it starts to make a little bit of sense.
Or is that just because it's 3AM on Friday. Or is that
still Thursday? Oh, the hell with it!
