Inspired by the Alan Jackson song 'It's Five O'Clock Somewhere', I began overthinking the lyric
I also realised that, Mr Jackson being a proponent of Country and/or Western music, he could conceivably be singing in Mountain Time Zone about it being five o'clock in Newfoundland, but I'd like to think that he's in the UK and is looking forward to a margarita with Mr Buffett as the sun goes over the yardarm in Afghanistan.

It got me thinking that, of the two places in question, one must be in a half-hour timezone. I knew that India and some states of Australia are in half-hour timezones, but I found out that Nepal is on UTC+5:45 and that the Chatham Islands are on UTC+12:45 or UTC+13:45, depending on daylight saving.

China only has one time zone. It's about the same width as the United States which has six.

Eating every course separately is Service à la russe. Before this meals were service à la française where all courses were served at once.

Trailers used to be shown after films, hence the name. Unfortunately the audience used to leave after the main feature so they were moved before it.

Swindon Town is the only team in the football league that contains none of the letters of the word Mackerel.
