Hello Bill and thanks for helping.

The zoneinfo is the same as yours and looks correct.

My laptop also hosts a rarely used Win XP and therefore holds date/time 
in LT format :(

Being a laptop my machine was sleeping at 01:00 UTC of March 27th :)

So is there a command to say "move the clock one hour ahead" or I need 
to set it with some explicit time reference used as a literal to the 
date command ?

Take care,
Bob

PS Now if I got chrony running properly things would settle :)
