Okay, glad to hear it. For me (us), it does not matter much that the method
was ripped from someone else's code, the important is whether it is correct
or not. Thanks for looking into it. This is just a reminder of my
observations regarding this method:

Last, and actually the main question, is that I suspect a bug in the method

> "2007-05-21T02:40:35Z". The method removed timezone (and replaced it with a
> single Z letter, which is correct) but the time - that should be now in GMT
> - is now bigger by two hours when I expected decrease by one hour (moving
> from my BST time which is +01 to the GMT). Is this a bug or my

Cheers,
Martin
