   Sadly for me (UK, date format yyyy-mm-dd)   
   gives the date in US format:   
      
      
   C:\>net time \\127.0.0.1   
   Current time at \\127.0.0.1 is 11/7/2020 10:32 AM   
      
   The command completed successfully.   
      
      
   C:\>date   
   The current date is: 2020-11-07   
   Enter the new date: (yy-mm-dd)   
      
   --   
   Bah, and indeed, Humbug.
