Not exactly.
I know on a basic level they are the same, but they are calculated completely different, that is not an issue.

Scenario

If I want to put a timestamp on something like a website it is normally done in UTC.

If in London you are on DST (aka GMT +1), I have to remember to minus an hour to my time.
If not on DST, I have to remember not to minus an hour off my time.

Can a timezone be created that will always show GMT/UTC and never be altered by DST.

I suppose thinking about it a work around could be to have Iceland in my World Clock as they stay UTC all year.

Still I was imaging a option in the "World Clock" menu "Show UTC"

Does this make any sense, now?



Edit...
Just realised I confused you with my table.

I meant

Local time 12:00 (GMT +1)
Brisbane 21:00 (GMT +10)
UTC 11:00 (GMT)
