 I'm guessing that GMT Standard Time simply means the time zone. The
GMT Daylight Time looks odd, perhaps it'll change to "GMT Daylight
Saving Time" when the clocks go forward to BST (aka Bull Shit Time[1])
just after the spring equinox.

 That's just an alias for GMT Standard Time.

[1] The only nice thing about being on Bull Shit Time is that I can
jump out bed just before 1pm BST and still fulfil my promise that I
always get up "By the crack of noon". :-)
