Hi Rob, We're processing data coming in from the gas/electricity and they use 000000 to signify the start of the day and 240000 to signify the end of the day.
I'd never seen it myself before now but on reading up on it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_clock and here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 it does seem to be a valid time. I have tried using 'kk' in the format string but that rules out 000000 and anyway 24 is only supposed to be valid in the above if the minutes and seconds part are zero.

I'd have thought that midnight is 000000 and the second before that was 235959 or am I missing something?
