If your country of interest is not on the list, then it means I do not know anything about the way
telegrams were sent or received there. Generally telegraph routes followed existing railway lines and
telegrams could be paid for in cash or stamps. Such stamps may have been cancelled with distinctive
cancellations. You probably know more than I do about the system in your country of interest.
Please, please feel free to get in contact and share your knowledge. It doesn't have to be in English.

My updated version.

Local time

		UK -
		USA-LA -
		USA-NY -
		Shanghai -
		Sydney -
		Moscow -
		Jo'burg -

For those interested, the times quoted are for the countries with most visitors, with a couple of exceptions.
Canada is pretty much the same as the USA and Germany is pretty much the same as the UK.
From the point of view of contributions, most have been from the UK, where all this was started.
However there have been valuable contributions from other countries:

USA, Germany, India, China, Japan, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Panama, Australia, Bulgaria, Iran

The contributions have not always been about the country that they came from.

Comments, criticisms, information or suggestions are always welcome.

Please include the word 'Telegraphs' in the subject.
