If I remember correctly, in the military in the 60s we were not allowed to use 00:00hrs, it was either 23:59 or 00:01hrs. Can’t see why they would have changed it. Anyone know any different, cos it was a few years ago=))

Indeed. In the Fire Service Occurrence Log Book the last entry every day was;
23:59 - Nothing further to report.

Andy I’ve just worked it out that from 23:59-00:01 is 2min that the Army doesn’t recognise, so in the ten yrs of my service on demob l owed them 5.0694days and still do. I wonder at 70yrs old would they still make me do them.:pompus:

24:00 is used in some commercial contracts as a convention to indicate the left side of midnight. Or the end of the day. 0:00 is used to indicate the right side of midnight. Or the start of the next day. Of course it’s exactly the same on your watch. But it helps define the exact moment a measured period ceases. We certainly use it in telecoms.

So Monday 24:00 is the same as Tuesday 0:00 on a watch.

I think it may also be used by the Police and military.

That I’m afraid to say is poor contract construction and one I wouldn’t have any hesitation in exploiting if I could. :D

The military do indeed use 24:00:00 as a convention to mean 00:00:00, but, that is just that, a convention.

The interesting thing is that if you try and enter 24:00:00 as a valid date/time data type in any system that has data validation on the data or within a data schema it will get rejected. If you present 24:00:00 as a non validated value you will have to parse the string into separate integer values to get a 24 hour period. You cannot use it directly as a time. Have you seen a clock with that displayed?

If you add 24x60x60 seconds to 00:00:00 day one you will always get 00:00:00 day 2.

The military convention (and that in telecoms contracts) is to remove potential ambiguity ( for the hard of understanding - i’d like to say sales and commercial people but I’ve been that as well as running huge networks across multiple time zones) to stop confusion between a 24 hour period and the time 24 hours apart. In real linear time 24:00:00 and 00:00:00 instances cannot simultaneously co-exist exist in two different days unless maybe you enter the realm and dark art of quantum mechanics and Schrödinger’s cat etc

But, let’s instead talk about UTC time and the introduction of leap seconds....:whistle:

What I said could still of course be a lot of tosh =)) - when I get chance I’ll talk to the guys who run our caesium and rubidium network sync reference clocks and their sync to NPL/UTC reference sources to see what they use as their definition. If they don’t know then nobody does :eek:

No no no. That’s completely wrong. You worked both 24:00 on day one and 00:00 day two, so, that’s two days you’ve worked and so, for each instance they owe you a whole days pay. You’ve been conned and only been paid half what you’re due :thumbsup:
 
How did a Metro with no service history make more than proper cars??!

I got 14 days Jankers for 2 days AWOL back in the day Roy, your in for 40,000,000 years mate =))
 
I don't think 00.00 actually exists. If I'm at home and awake I don't notice it, if I'm asleep, I don't notice it. Then, if I'm on my way home from Florida it's actually 7.00pm.:thumbsup:

A car that should be beaten for eternity and set fire to, every day :D
 
Guess you liked them then .............. =))

Tony.
 
I didn't dislike them if I'm honest, especially as they dissolved I made a lot of money welding them back together plus normal repairs.
I bought Shirl one years ago, a 1.3 GLS which had a Turbo Technics kit on and it was hellish quick and bloody evil too.

Is any metro something you should be ashamed of? :wideyed:

Had an MG Metro. That is until someone shortened it by a couple of feet. :eek:
 
The trouble with British Leyland, Rover cars what ever you called them, they had some very good cars, but always about 10 years too late.
