Greenwich Mean Time. The time at the prime meridian, 0 deg longitude, planet Earth.
Not the local time at Greenwich, England -- they use European time, GMT+1.
[EDIT]
Ohh, Rag's link tells me I'm using an outdated term, oh well, I'll always find it funny Greenwich doesn't use the time of the prime meridian -- I know it's important to match Europe -- still funny 'tho.

Do we? And here's me running around the UK with my watch set to GMT. No wonder I always arrive an hour early for everything...

True... Hmmm... I guess he could just do a search for subjects dealing with the Gearbox. But that isn't as fun.

Re: Time zone troubles?
I don't think the Gearbox is as versatile as a Tardis. The Gearbox just lets you travel forward or back in time and it doesn't have the ability to teleport to other planets.
...I miss Doctor Who. That was one of my favorite shows many years ago.
