Call me crazy, but the Brits are on summer time (UTC+1) and you should 
be on CEST (Central Europe Summer Time) (UTC+2).

Here's what I got with your code, with NTFS, in eastern Australia 
(UTC+10), local time is after 8 p.m.

C:\junk\winfiletime>winfiletime.py
[u'C:\\junk\\winfiletime\\winfiletime.py']
pw32 1147306617
pyos 1147342617
pw32 Thu May 11 10:16:57 2006
pyos Thu May 11 20:16:57 2006

As expected.
