Nice watches, use both MSF and DCF but not as sensitive as some other
models. However TFL did miss a trick (deliberately?) by not actively
signalling the zone. If Casio say 18:30 (from Feb 19 18:00) but you
get a ticket, who trumps whom? They can't get times on pay & display
machines right (compare display times with said Casio: some are
minutes out).


Even the Swiss can't get it right -- the ticket machine at CERN
was always stamping tickets 5-10 minutes early.
