Time Difference between Here & UK

[Tank]

What time (here in Australia) would I have to call to contact Paddocks UK during business hours, say 9:00am UK time and what are the ++ signs at the start of their phone number, can anyone help, Thanks, Regards Frank.

08454 584499 (UK local rate)
++44 1629 760877 (international)

I'm pretty sure 6pm here is 9am in the uk, I normally put 001144 before the uk number but leave off the 0 from the uk code.

eg. 01327 6666 would be 001144 1327 6666 ;)

UK is on daylight saving time at the moment so only 9 hrs behind us instead of 10 (east coast that is). So yes, 9am UK = 6pm here.

The "++" relates to whatever your country's, or carrier's international access code is. Australia (most carriers) is 0011, but I think there are some discount carriers that you can use another dialing prefix to get their you-beaut special rate for whatever country you're calling.

If you're going to be calling the UK more than a bit and your internet connection is reasonable I recommend signing up for Skype, or another VOIP provider like Penny-tel so you can call for next to nothing.

Or you could look at Time - Current time around the World and standard time zones map of the world- 12 format (http://www.worldtimezone.com) too.

We've found that Skype can have a lot of echo when speaking to a regular land line phone in the UK. We phone there quite a lot and have found the most consistently reliable and economic way is to buy a voucher from Australia Post. You can get one for $10 from any Post Office. It lasts six months and is a lost less costly than normal phoning. Can't remember exactly how long, but I think we get a couple of hours for $10 (a bargain).

The only downside is the quantity of digits that have to be entered. Tip: get someone to read them out as you enter them.

The other thing you could do, if you just want to find something out, is ask a local to ring them.
I am sure either Leeds or myself would ring quite happily for you.

Out of curiosity, where are you? Apart from the obvious, UK:angel:

UK is 10 hours behind Eastern states ATM, so if it 11am here its 1am in the UK of the same day.

Oops sorry, never thought.
God's Own County - and for those of you who don't know where that is, Yorkshire. About 80k from Paddocks. which I suppose in Aussie terms it makes them like the corner shop. :D
