There's always Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Sounds very Imperialist I know, but an obscure
borough of London gets to set the standard for time.

The UK is all one time zone and 00:00 hours.
Although confusingly we are currently on +1:00
hours because of British Summer Time (BST).

Pacific Time would be -8:00 hours GMT and Central
Time -6:00 GMT hours (? -- I get hazy here with my
geography).

If you've got Windows 95, double click on the time, bottom
right, and click the Time Zones tab to see how the time zones fall.
