But 21:00 is just the 24 clock version? What's the rolly eyes about?

Because in my book 09.00 occurs once a day, nothing more, nothing less.

Once for 24 hour clock, twice for 12 hour clock. Some times however do only exist once as far as I'm concerned although seem to remember there were sometimes 2 of them when I was younger

i'm with greenleaves on this. It's either 09:00 and 21:00 or 9:00am and 9:00pm. Not 09:00pm because putting the zero in front of the nine implies a 24 hour clock, since there is no such time as 19:00pm (once you get to 12:00 it becomes am again)

OK, I'm a pedantic old so-and-so who grew up with the 12hr clock then had to learn the 24hr clock and don't like it when they're mixed.

I'll get back in my box now.

You see I'm quite happy with 09.00 am as morning times do go into double figures (eg 10 and 11 in the morning) so it's just keeping consistency on the number of digits. I have to sign in every day at work and always use two digits for the hour
