To be fair, what time zone you live in DOES affect your life. In addition, every time you watch television you are informed of the idea of EST vs. Central Standard Time (or occasionally Pacific Standard Time) -- "Law & Order, watch it tonight at 10:00 pm, 9:00 pm Central".
As for Holmes' quote, it is not only wrong (factually, I mean), but I've always thought he said it just to mess with Watson. As have many scholars, in fact. Part of his whole, "I just moved in with the guy, I'm going to act normal for a while just to bother him because I've noticed that he keeps watching me and making lists about things that I do" thing in A Study in Scarlet. He's got a weird sense of humour. ^_^
