We're (almost certainly) moving to Central European Time. Good or bad?

    And another thing. Why do we in the English speaking world maintain this ridiculous attachment to the twelve hour clock ?

    Are you saying we should be using the 24 hour clock (I already do) or some other clock?

    Relatively speaking, it really doesn't matter which timezone you're in, what's important is that your international trading partners know the relative time difference.

    It would make more sense for an Irish company that does 100% of its trade with the US to just work 12:00- 20:00 each day so they get the full day of work during the US business day.

    Well seeing as how Decimal time is probably a non-runner then yeah.

    Most of the non-English speaking world use the 24 hour clock by default and (quite rightly) regard our attachment to the 12 hour clock as odd.
