Damn, Spain and Morocco being UTC+1 is nuts. Even France and Algeria are stretching it a bit far for my liking. And it gets even more crazy for the European countries for over half the year when they play pretendy-magic-time and go to UTC+2.

Otherwise the people on the Azores would go nuts.

Azores is UTC-1 anyway.

Yes, the difference to the mother country would be even larger.

Different time zones are said to make business more complicated. I think that's why the CET/CEST time zone is stretched out that much.

It's already -1 so it's already different
