It concretely demonstrates you have no idea how aircraft work.
Standard Day exists everywhere in aviation and is very important. It is the atmospheric conditions that most of the data you see is converted too. Aircraft performance varies greatly based on density altitude, including your engines power development.
And yes, conditions do change but not based on any countries borders. Why do you think the very first thing Air Traffic Control will relay to you as a pilot, is the altimeter setting?

You keep referring to your PPL as a licence for you to be a know-it-all. There you go again confusing modern day process in the USA with that of wartime Britain in 1940. That's what 'balony' really is.
So, what's a 'standard day' in England Crump? And what evidence do you have that this information was relayed to aircrew as they scrambled? According to your own logic, if you cannot provide this as proof then it didn't happen.
