Outlook diary always refers to the UK timezone as GMT even though for half of
the year it is GMT+1. Causes great confusion with international (and local)
meetings. Either refer to is as UK time throughout the year or make it GMT in
the winter and BST in the summer.

Don't you check the option to show Daylight Savings Time?

Yes - but meetings still appear in the calendar with the time shown as GMT,
even when they're not.
