Do youropean counties use 24 hr clock mode besides the military?

Makes it alot easyer to be a drunk when you dont have to wonder about witch of the six o'clocks it is.

When the sun never sets here in the summer and almost never gets up in the winter its even more handy.

People just say 8 o'clock since it's quite obvious to the normal person if it's day or night.

military use 24h clock since the top brass hiding in the command bunkers and don't see the light of day, can't tell if it's morning or evening.
So do radar controllers...

It's always 8/8 Neons and CAVOK weather in the bunker.

Yes riding on a horse meeting someone coming from the opposite direction you could cover him with a weapon without the horse getting in your way.

But continental europe used more carts driven by animals which require whips to drive. Driving on your side of the road would be a very bad idea since about 90% of the population is right handed.
