UK doesn't call it Military Time. We call it the 24hour clock.

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

I'll never understand the problem with military time, you literally just have to know how to subtract 12. It's something you learn when you're about 5 years old. It's basically 2nd nature once you are old enough to care what time of day it is, you don't even have to think about it. There are 24 hours in a day.

[@AntonyTCurtis]

All the train and bus timetables would use "military time" ... as will many shop-front opening hours sign.

[@corydorastube]

@@ffotograffyddThere is a difference.. Military time uses a leading zero and doesn't have a colon, while 24 hour time uses a colon but not a leading zero. For example, 8 o'clock AM is shown as 0800 in military and 8:00 in 24 hour time. 8 PM would be 2000 (military) and 20:00 (24 hour

Seems that a lot of Americans are conditioned to a 'work more hours, buy more stuff' mentality, whereas most of the UK and Europe have a 'work hard during your contracted hours, then enjoy time with family, friends and seeing the world'.

Over half of the world uses military time especially at airports, train stations, buses etc. North America is one of a tiny minority of countries that commercially wash their eggs and this process strips the shell of its natural protective layer thereby needing the eggs to be kept refrigerated; the vast majority of countries don’t wash their eggs and they stay fresh at room temperature for weeks without the need for refrigeration.

[@AntonyTCurtis]

The rationale is different for eggs. In the USA, to have cosmetically nice looking eggs in the superstores, they wash them. Meanwhile, the UK and a lot of Europe decided that the way to have cosmetically nice looking eggs in the superstores was to give the chickens nice enough conditions so that they don't get crap on their eggs.

[@brigidsingleton1596]

​@@AntonyTCurtis Plus, is it true that our hens are vaccinated against salmonella? Our dairy and beef cattle received vaccinations too, against a variety of bacteria which could otherwise affect their milk or meat... I guess pigs do too, and sheep / lambs?

[@wessexdruid7598]

@@AntonyTCurtis It's not cosmetic - it's because their animal husbandry regulations are so poor and they are not prevented from keeping hens standing and laying in their own faeces.

[@juliehillman8743]

You dont need to drink alcohol to enjoy socialising at the pub. Many pubs offer free soft drinks for the 'designated' driver these days. Sunday dinner and shops closing early is to enable families to spend time with each other, catching up on news while enjoying a delicious meal, which is often followed with a delicious hot or cold dessert. Rice pudding is a favourite of mine.

[@derekgibson2589]

One thing she didn't mention when talking about holidays is that we also get "sick" time off. You might not get full pay if you are off work with an illness but you do get something. Also, you can't be fired for being off work ill without a very good reason.

Then finished it all off with a bowl of apple and cherry crumble and a dollop of ice cream. YUM YUM Also, gotta love Amanda Rae, not only a hottie with sweet arm tats, but also she has a wicked sense of humour. The most popular pub names for the UK are. "The Red Lion" (thats the most popular) and after that its a pub named "The queens.... head / arm / leg" You get a lot of pubs called stuff like "the queens head. As kids we all knew of the joke about the man stood outside of a pub at 9am and when asked what he is doing, he replies "Im waiting for the queens legs to open so i can get a drink"

When soldiers from the Peninsular War (helping Spain boot out Napoleon) returned, some bought and ran pubs with their bounty. At least two that I know of are called 'The Case is Altered'. All sorts of BS surround the origin, but it comes from Casa Alta or High House. As usual, it got mangled and anglicised.

[@BillCameronWC]

I like her channel a lot & have subscribed to it for a few years 👍. One matter though, we never refer to time keeping as “military time”, instead we talk about the “24-hour clock”, which is very useful when travelling by train or plane, but in daily life we speak using a 12 hour clock, specifying morning or afternoon/evening or perhaps referring to “AM” or “PM” (short for ante/before and post/after meridian/midday), it’s not difficult 😉. A lot of the time it’s not even necessary to specify that, because if you arrange to meet someone at 2 or 4, it’s implicitly understood you’re referring to an afternoon meeting, as it’s unlikely you’ll be meeting so early in the morning. On the other hand if you arrange to meet someone at 8 or 9 etc, it’s probably necessary to specify if you’re talking about the morning or evening.

You don't always need to have alcohol in a pub. Their a chill meeting place to catch up with friends, have a meal or just hang out. If your with a group of drinkers being the only sober one can be rough. But if your with like minded people, can still be a laugh. You just need the right crowd and the right pub. They do loads of soft drink options too.

[@anitaherbert1037]

Different pubs have different characters. Often a country pub is aimed more at families and may even have a play area. These are the sort of pubs do mothers day specials so mum does not have to cook sunday dinner. You might celebrate family birthdays there. They might do themed nights. Steak and wine, curry and beer, Quiz nights. Fantasy Football, darts etc. Some pubs have an amateur football or lawn bowling or pool or snooker team. Pubs come in as many different styles. There ard even chains. Like Wetherspoons that are a combination pub and restaurant. Look up the Wetherspoons challenge.
