Thanks! Very interesting.

Before the advent of the railways and their timetables, there was no single unified timezone in Britain. If it was 6pm in London, it probably wasn't 6pm in Newcastle. What the definitive reference...

Sadly, very true. But I don't actually endorse the sentiment in the image, I just thought it was funny.
