The Sun's Still Facing This Way

[Bazile]

Will you look out there - it's heading towards 1700 hrs and it's still light and sunny

Summer is here

Spring Equinox and a “Full Worm Supermoon”, can't be bad.

I love the light evenings and being able to leave the house without 14 extra layers...
Full worm supermoon, mamya? Have you seen your GP? X

[Mamyalynne]

There was a queue.

Interesting, thanks. I'd never heard of that.

[Mamyalynne]

So much folk lore about all these terms, usually an obvious explanation when you dig in - yes, it is interesting.

It's been thick unbroken cloud here for 2 days - it's a bit grim really.

[Lie-in King]

No sun here, flat grey sky most of the day.

I'd not heard that term either, ta Mamya :-)

Bazile, why would you say 1700hrs? Why not 5 o'clock? If I asked you what time is it,would you say 1700hrs?

[jno]

Because you might want to know if it’s morning or evening?

I always use the 24 hour clock no matter who I'm talking to, guess that's down to 20 years of Service Life.

I always wonder why some people, including the AB site, place a colon between the hours and minutes when using the 24hr system. When I was taught about it, mind you many years ago, the time was expressed using just 4 digits.

[Mexican18]

A couple of times I have not known if it is morning or evening but not very often!

Depends - if it's important that there is no doubt about whether i mean AM or PM , then i'll use the 24hr clock .

If its not important then i'll use either , probably more , the 12 hour clock

Anyway , whats wrong in saying 1700 hrs - if you asked me the
time ?
