I have some relatives in Ireland (dad's side) ...some in Scotland (mom's side)...and a few smattering ones in the middle in Britain...
And on the whole....
The Brit relatives are whacked .
The Scot relatives are weird as hell..
and the Irish ones are just crazy...
(I do like my Irish relatives more...mainly for their unpredictability )}

To pull out some most likely scenarios...

I know how they will get to their own planet....
Either in lavish spending style sparing no expense for the upper class...
with the
"Starship UK"



(Had to pull out a "Whovian" mention )


Or they will go the budget vehicle
and throw together the "HMS Camden Lock"



(Just had to pull out the ship from "Hyperdrive" ...damn it was a funny show )

As far as time zones go...
you are all crazy on this planet...
just wait for a passing dense star or black hole to throw off everyone's time zones ...

THEN watch the madness develop...
