No, you take 12 away from 21 (in 24hr format) to work out it's 9pm. The extra 0 is fine to me as you get two digits for 10, 11 and 12.Originally posted by Bigmallly View PostLast edited by Alison; 03-08-2014, 12:29 PM.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

Not getting into chat on rant thread, this has been discussed before:

But that is incorrect.
The 24 hour clock as is used by the military and all others always has four digits, this is for clarity during radio communications and to ensure correct timings. Everything with a 0 in front is am. the rest just follow.
If the artillery barrage is set for 0930 you wouldn't want to pop your head up thinking they meant 2130 or 0930pm.Potty by name Potty by nature.

Having grown up in 'Travel and Transport' I am used to using the 24 hour clock. I still find it strange that anyone uses the other.Originally posted by Bigmallly View PostI knew I could rely on you G4................. But hey, we're all different.

What confuses me is from my OP it appears that the vine must have used 24hr format at some point.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

I used to be really good at maths at school but the 24 hour clock really confuses me. I'm OK once we get onto the 20's but I teally can't work out the time when it's 15.45 for example. Have nearly missed numerous flights because of it. Good job I am always really early when flying.Dogs have masters, cats have slaves, and horses are just wonderfulComment

Don't tempt fate...it took about 3 years just to get it anywhere near accurate!
The French use the 24 hr clock and boy is it particularly hard to get used to saying 14, 15, 16 hrs !"Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

Mally, you are retired, for you time is an irrelevance, wake up when the sun lights your room, eat when you're hungry. I struggle to know what day it is, in fact what day is it?photo album of my garden in my profile http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...my+garden.htmlComment
