Do we agree that the civil time used in the UK is UTC and that
legislation has failed to keep up with this?

Yes, and no. UK civil time is GMT, but law enforcement has been lax.

I'll go with that. Law enforcement needs to be lax, the only accurate
time standards in the UK being UTC and not GMT.

Fascinated by why you say almost all of the UK. Is there some part in
a different time zone?

There is some part which, I have been told by one who should know, keeps
a time differing significantly from London Time. I doubt whether it
should be described as a zone.
