For example if its 12:00 AM in the US, it's 00:00 in euro format.

Over the Channel they seem to use 24hr Clock. Here in UK we generaly use Am Pm Time. We like to do things our own way. Like driving on the correct side of the road. It enables us right handers to wield our swords at oncoming attackers on the other side of the road or something like that.

24 hour clock here too... no am/fm time here. We do have FM/AM radio if that helps any.

Anyways.. its 18:17 here now but we say six seventeen, not eighteen seventeen. You would say seventeen past six tho.. but we dont do that either.

Yes it's more commonly used in Europe and isn't called military time. But the average person in street still goes am pm. It's just after 6 right now.

One funny thing is people in Britain or Ireland are asked the time and it's for example 4:30. We say it's half four. I said that to an American once when he asked the time. He thought I was being a smart alec and said 'Do you mean it's 2pm?'

Officially all times are in 24 hours format here in Russia, but people usually say simply "half four" or something similar.

I live on 24 hour time format so I usually say "sixteen thirty"

When I was in the US we were quite surprised when on girl's electronic watch was called a "military" by one of our hosts. He sounded like he thought she was from KGB or something

Here in Denmark it's about half and half between the two diferent notations.

What catches me out a lot more is that "half three" means half _to_ the hour; not past it.
