New Zealand is on it's own timezone because of World War ll - Fact Of The Day

Time is confusing at the best of ....times. And it's even making these descriptions confusing. We have daylight savings and spring forward, lean back, and time zones all over the world. And your car and microwave doesn't auto update making things even messier!
