When using the 24 hr clock, do you add the words o'clock after the time for example 1900 o'clock.

I reckon you don't in fact I'm sure you don't , yet the BBC news keeps showing a piece across the bottom of screen saying

Luton airport says there'll be no flights until 1900 O'clock.

On all other airport information being shown it says either 1pm/7pm or 1300/1900, now I'm wondering if someone from Luton airport said 1900 O' clock to them

So I'm I right, if it in the 24 hr system without O'clock

Ok so you'll all say have I nothing better to do and at the moment the answer is no.

i thought you would say nineteen hundred hours for 7pm

My thoughts, exactly.

I just expect better from the BBC

1900h is the correct format.

Hope that helps.

You sound like POK there

Jesus Christ, Fetish Bob. I think you need to get yourself a hobby.

One that doesn't involve tieing up slappers in your dungeon preferably.

This thread might bring about a few clock jokes.

I can't face it myself.

We just say 1900 (7 o'clock in the evening or 7pm) when using the 24 hour clock in the UK.

It's France that adds an h in between the hour and the minutes when they use the 24 hour clock: 19h00 for example.

so who uses 10 past 5 then? Or for those who like to tell it in a slightly wacky way, is fifty to six. Or, if you’d like to develop the idea, seventy past four. Or even, one thousand, two hundred and thirty to twelve.

Seen it on the news myself. Really ticked me off.

At least he isn't quoting second hand information via a link to another website.

In all honestly, you've got to be a little cuckoo to even remotely care about this.

I saw an advert on television for a programme on the Crime and Investigation Network a couple of days ago that was on at midnight.

But they didn't say midnight or 12pm, they said 24:00, which technically I think is wrong because the majority of clocks go from 23:59 to 00:00 for the next day.

Your right mate.

But I just expect better from our so called top news broadcasting service.

Whoever put it up for the BBC is probably straight out on Uni, and so that could be an excuse as they probably spent there time in bed, watching TV or sat on a pc looking at websites that had nothing to do with the course they were doing.

But it did sort of irritate me.

surely the BBC have got to hold their hands up on this one

Watch it Mr Bob, you'll upset Mr PoK and the other students!

on one hand it could be 7pm and on the other hand it could be 19.00 hours,so on the face of it they could both be right

The BBC need to watch more closely.

Is that Zulu Time??

That's Christmas isn't it?
