The Vugraph Schedule on http://www.bridgebas.../online/vg.html currently lists starting times based on local times in New York and Paris.

Is it possible to code the page so it uses the one's PC clock and lists the time (and adjusted date, if necessary) to local time.

... or at least display the times in GMT which is much easier to work out for people who don't live in CET or EST.

However I do this some people complain about it.

We used to use GMT and that resulted in a lot more
complaints than the current method.

For a while I was listing Sydney as well as Paris and
New York, but unfortunately I am hopeless when it
comes to calculating times and dates, especially when
the International Date Line is involved. The chart also
gets cumbersome and confusing when an event is on
April 27 in one place and April 28 in another place.

Not sure what the long term solution here is. Perhaps
some kind of web database application for maintaining
the list of upcoming broadcasts and automatically
generating the web page...
