Hi Robin,
Thanks for your reply. The times are exactly synchronized. I'm looking
at the date section in the output of phpinfo(), and get the following:
Development:
D:\Documents and Settings\neil.saunders>date
The current date is: 06/11/2007
D:\Documents and Settings\neil.saunders>time
The current time is: 12:47:06.46

Although the timezones are different, my understanding is the UTC is a
synonym for GMT, which is based in London. This appears to be
confirmed by looking at the default latitudes and longitudes and they
match up.
Either way, setting the timezone to Europe/London in production fixed
the issue. Thanks again for your help.
Cheers,
Neil.
