There are a lot more named timezones than that, Bowie :-).  The only
"Western" time zone I know of is the timezone sometimes called "Western
European Time", also known as GMT +1, but noon there would hardly be
evening in Europe, except maybe over by the Urals, so I doubt that is what
he is referring to.

This is an international list, everyone here should know how far their
timezone is from GMT.  Can't we just be normal and give times in GMT (or
Zulu time if you are avionically oriented, its the same thing).
