So if I wrote you a note asking you to meet me at 00.00 would you arrive during the day or during the night?

NB: No wisecracks about not wanting to meet me at any time please.

[MereNovice]

Isn't the first minute of the day 00:20 here?

Sadly, it seems to be 12:20.

I wouldn't want to meet you at any time.

If you were operating on a 24 hour clock it would be during the night; if you were operating on a 12 hour clock it would be an evens shot apart from any factors I could deduce about whether you would prefer to meet me at midday or midnight.


That's all irrelevant anyway, 12:30 should be 00:30; I can see no logical argument against this. At best it's an antiquated reflection of analogue watches/clocks with the number 12 at the north pole.

To avoid confusion your note should say midday or midnight not 00.00

[MintTrav]

Nobody says midday. "I'll meet you at twelve-noon" would be more usual.

[AdamM]

so at 12:30am/00:30, if I ask you the time what actual words do you reply with?
"half past midnight" or "half past twelve"

 No one says noon it's always midday

An opinion piece from Mr Mere?

About time.

I try to avoid flooding Blonde with my opinions.
People's time is precious; after all there are only 24 hours in a day.

Not at Sky there isn't.

Good spot Lord Mondy.

Even MerePernickity & Red "About Time" Dog (decent punnage to be fair) will be stumped by that.

Sky TV have Shows that start @ 24.00, 25.00 & even 26.00

Stick that in their pernickity pipes.
