Repayment of an overpayment of Working Tax Credit

EST stands for Eastern Summer Time in Australia and Eastern Standard Time in Australia and North America. Quite obviously neither of these are relevant to time in the UK.

As you can see from previous posts, Alan Ferris tries to use usenet to insult other people but only succeeds in showing what a fool he is. He's on the same level as Dumbo: refuses to say whether he is employed as a postman or unemployed and most likely lives in a bedsit and survives on benefits. His one pleasure is to insult his superiors.

The Eastern Australians must be a jolly clever lot to be able to distinguish between their standard and summer times when they've got the same bloody TLA.

When do their clocks change from EST to EST? :-)

I gather their Western counterparts have a similar problem.

If he's unemployed, how can he have superiors? Or do you mean what in the old days used be called one's betters?

Perhaps they change from EST to EWT, and then from EWT to EST? ;-)

[Why should "winter" time be the standard one, anyway? What's wrong with having "summer" time as your standard?!]

The time based on UTC plus (or minus) your geographical offset is standard time. Or, to put it another way, standard time is where the sun is at its highest at 12:00 noon (give or take a bit for the width of the timezone). Daylight saving time (or "summer time") is UTC + offset + 1, or where the the sun is at its highest at 1:00pm.

In theory, you could have standard time in summar and then a negative shift in winter (UTC + offset - 1), making the sun at its highest at

11:00am. I'm not aware of any places that actually do that, though.

All I know is that Alan Ferris seems to think that HMRC giving out electronic receipts timed one hour earlier than the time the rest of the country uses is a good opportunity to insult me - shows how desperate he is.

I'm using it in the true sense of the word not the meanings that refer to employment or class.

I wonder what happened to that guy who kept saying that an 100% shareholder can take money out of his company with no restriction?

No I simply pointed out your foolishness in complaigning when you did not even realise they were in GMT. Everybody else using the system seems to have spotted it but you.....poor education or what Peter?

I was complaining because it was wrong. Simple as that. Using your logic it would be ok if a motorist killed a pedestrian due to going too fast as long as everybody realised they were going to fast.

I see you won't give any indication of your employment or education. You obviously feel inadequate. Your comments on usenet indicate that you are unhappy with your education and "career" - I'm guessing that you have a low earning job, live in a bedsit and are not in a relationship. You get your thrills from insulting people on usenet. I've wasted enough time on your sad life. When I used a newsreader your were killfiled - now you will be ignored.

It is wrong because it confused poor Peter. But remember this system if for people from all over to post CT returns, not just the Britain on BST....but hey lets ignore everybody else and just work to BST so that poor Peter never has to get confused because he simply cannot recognise when GMT was used.

PS - Speeding is totally different as it is a criminal offence. But I realise again that would confuse somebody like you Peter. Try John & Jane books, they seem more your level.

And as to my education, it does not mater Peter (and seems to wind you up that you know so little about me), we can see here who was confused by GMT which even the uneducated understand.
