Its a bit confusing. The reason is, because when the clocks go back, uk time WILL be GMT. Thats why most people use GMT to mean uk time. Its only really confusing when in the summer.
Easiest way I remember it, is just forget GMT. I remember that CET is ALWAYS 1 hour ahead of uk time. I'm in the uk, so its easier to remember that (i just check my clock), but for other people it might not be.
The canary islands just off the coast of africa use GMT all year round... thats why the UK cant just continue to use GMT in summer like europe can with CET. So we get BST canarys stay GMT and it goes all higgledi-pigglydi and confuses everyone
