Safari Time Zone issues

My time zone is set correctly in Preferences. Why is it that Safari is the only browser that is 6 hour adrift. Firefox & Chrome show the correct time on documents

as shown here:

Time Zone

Your account is set to: Europe/London ?

Your browser's time is -6 hours (-360 minutes) from Greenwich Mean Time

Firefox and Chrome both say: Your browser's time is 0 hours (0 minutes) from Greenwich Mean Time

Come on Safari, you should know better.
