thanks for your info.
yes it is likely that the newspaper here did not correctly specify the GMT or CET time
and they reported it was fixed late at 11.50 so I can see that 12.52 would be right as CET
The dreaded time thing for astrologers everywhere! Maybe we should all do horary!

Intrigued by the champagne transaction- no Financial newspaper here reported it and they still say the 'official trading' started on 4th as 1st a holiday- still we now have lots of dates to play with!
