>>Can someone tell me what time 10:00 EDT is or what EDT stands for. I live in England so there will be an obvious difference.

>I might add to what Tom says, in case you're unfamiliar. We have an anachronistic custom in most of the states of setting the clocks back or forward 1 hour twice a year. In spring we set clocks ahead to make a later daylight in the evening, that's what the 'D' in EDT is all about...

We might add that Eastern Standard Time is 5 hours behind GMT, so EDT would be 4 hours behind GMT. Am I right in thinking that the English also set their clocks ahead in Spring? If so, we're 5 hours behind you always, except maybe around the time when the clocks are moved, since you might pick a different weekend.
