the correct time zone is UTC not Greenwich Mean Time.
I never said the time zone was GMT, only that the meridian is Greenwich. Subtle, yes, but if the meridian for UTC isn't the one running through Greenwich, let me know.
Actually you only mentioned timezone "who gets to have the time zone where noon is directly overhead" and then went into a rant about England vs France. You never once mentioned the meridian.
But sure, I didn't explicitly connect the dots.
We're talking about this: "Who gets to have the time-zone that’s noon at noon?"
That established the context that we are talking about time zones.
