Indeed, it is sometimes used to mean that even in the summer. There was
some confusion in my company last year about a teleconference scheduled in
"GMT" which turned out to actually refer to British Summer Time.

This great college [Trinity], of this ancient university [Cambridge],

sober. And here am I, a better poet than Porson, and a better scholar
than Wordsworth, somewhere betwixt and between.  --A.E. Housman
