London bombings[edit]
I hope you will not mind me answering your question on behalf of Dan but he only edits from time to time and i thought you might like an answer sooner rather than wait for him to reply.
The times in the logs are in UTC time and the events happened at 8.48 Brtish Summer Time which is one hour after UTC. This means that the entry in the logs which say 8.18 (UTC) means that it was 9.18 (BST) so the article was created 30 mins after the event happend. Hope this answers your question and if you need anymore help don't hesitate to contact me again. --MarkTalk 21:07, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
