Dave,
Check your date and time settings - Settings<>General<>Date & Time... then make sure your time zone is set to your actual location and time zone. Tell us what you find after checking this stuff out.

Arhh times off again could be some thing to do with a app I have a lot of uk based stuff for tv and the like

[Tim SPRACKLEN]

It's a puzzle, because apps arn't allowed to change the time and date on the iPad, as far as I'm aware.

Does the time sync via the Internet

[Tim SPRACKLEN]

No - the iPad doesn't use NTP servers. I'm not sure why. Download the free app, 'Time', and you'll see what the NTP servers are saying. There's also a very informative Information page in that app which describes how the iPad receives time updates (via 3G) but not via WiFi.
