It should be implemented in people's brains.

How this goes, usually, is:

Them:...before 6PM.

Me: 6PM... Ours? The server's? The user's?

Them: GMT, of course.

Me: So that's 7PM London right now, and changes to 6PM in November?

Them: What no are you stupid. Always 6PM GMT.

Me:* jumps off a cliff*

Don’t get it. Is this implying GMT has daylight savings?

GMT doesn't have daylight savings, but most people won't be as precise in language. Here in Germany, we might also tell people "GMT+2", even though it changes to GMT+1 in winter. Like, I don't even know what the correct shorthand would be for our timezone...
