The current XML file doesn't convert to UTC, and as a result my computer 
is stuck in the UTC+02 timezone, when I actually live in UTC (within 
spitting distance of Greenwich).

If I don't do this, transactions report themselves as being one day 
early, so transactions on the first of the month suddenly appear on the 
last day of last month, which sends my VAT returns into a spin.

I think this is being caused by dates that are actually dates and not 
times, being stores as times.

Graham
