Actually, neither - intelligent countries use a 24 hour system.

Thus, after 23:59, it becomes 0:00 (midnight, at which point, one second later it is the start of the new day), and after 11:59, it becomes 12:00 (noon, hence the middle of the day).

So far, it's been my experience that only retarded countries lacking common sense cling onto a system of arbitrary am/pm differentiations (and then can't even keep the meaning of those coordinated, it seems).

Then again, the rest of the world also uses the metric system -- and who's still stuck in the appropriately named 'imperial' system...?

Confusing lot - at least France and the remainder of civilization appears to get those things right ;-p

Even more retarded countries break the day into 4 x 6 hour slots.

If youre referring to the UK we officially use the metric system, I dont think America does .

If anyones been following the saga of this brook you'll remember I said it runs through the cellar of a local pub, well this is one step closer upstream to the pub, its about 200 metres from here so I think I owe it to TD to go for a pint there next time.

I went to visit my granny oop north over the holiday, she lives about 15 mins away from where we stayed in South Shields.

This is Marsden Rock, spectacular isnt it? Its a good place to take the kids to play as theres a pub carved out of the rock right on the beach.





Its quite a big beach but sadly it wasnt sunbathing weather, a nice breeze and not too cold was just as much fun though.





This is a bit further down the coast, theres ruins on the outcrop but we've been there too many times to bother going this time.

Very nice pics, thanks

I like them too. Very creative to carve a pub into the rock.
