Do they use military time in Ireland, Wales, or England?
Over here, we are GMT time… seeing as we’re where time originated… well, sort of. GMT is Greenwich Mean Time and is where all time zones are in relation to. It depends where you are as to what the time difference is. For example, New York is GMT-5, meaning that when it’s 12 midday over here, it’s only 7am in New York. We get the day first. As for the military time thing, we call it the 24 hour clock, midnight being 00:00. We do use it, but like someone else said- it’s mainly for transport and computer settings. Otherwise, we work in the 12 hour clock and just specify if we mean AM or PM (although most things are obvious by context- few people would meet for lunch at 1am, for example) — And to RichB- from now on, I think I might start saying “meet us in the pub at 20:00″…
