gmt

Right now we are in BST, which is GMT +1 (true?)
BUT
Spain is always GMT +1 (true?)
BUT
if I go to Spain now I will need to turn my watch forward one hour, which will make it one hour ahead of BST, so GMT +2 (true?)
SO
Does this mean that Spain puts its clocks forward just like the UK does?

feel free to correct me on anything if I've made a mistake

Thanks for the replies. I was na�ve and thought it was just Britain.

All countries in the EU put their clocks forward and back on the same day .

Rojash, if countries put their clocks forward and back on the same day, won't that leave them where they started? :-)
No, but seriously though, isn't everybody sick and tired of messing around with clocks? One day, every clock we possess may be kept at the correct time by radio signals, but until that happens, I have about 6 clocks and watches to sort out twice a year. Why don't we compromise and put the clocks back only half an hour this October and leave them at that time (GMT + 30 mins) for ever?
