GMT

[osborneuk]

some of the events in my calender have an entry in the text section that says for example "1000 GMT" for an 1100 appointment. My time zone is set to London. Annoying but not life threatening. Thoughts welcome

GMT is the time zone. GMT +0000 is London.

It looks as if you've run afoul of what I call the "GMT Bug." Please see this thread for more info: http://www.ipadforums.net/threads/something-on-the-net-forcing-gmt-on-calendar-entries.126073/

I have heard that iOS 8.2 fixes the issue but for now, we're kind of stuck with either living with it or using another calendar. Sorry.

Solved! Thanks! went into iCloud and changed the time in settings to UK time (It was on Pacific Time - I wonder why!)

Dear osborneuk,
You may have setup your iPad as US (English) so it picked up the USA time zone.

It's confirmed, the upcoming release of iOS 8.2, which is now in Gold Master release fixes the GMT calendar bug which has affected so many members.

Hmmm. I fixed it by changing the time zone for iCloud".
