To be fair, the UK is spectacularly bizarre in most of these things,
and hence runs on both.
Computers, and electronics generally, and timetables, tend to use
24-hour clocks, but people tend to use 12-hour - so we say delightful
things like "The 19:54 train didn't arrive until eight o'clock" - and
even better we won't think anything odd about it. We'll also see
nothing remotely odd about a TV listing that shows the "Ten O'Clock
News" at 22:00. But my children's bedtime is around 7, not 19:00.
I'd prefer to run the 770 in 24 hour, for what it's worth, but it's
not a missing feature I'm all that up in arms about.
Dave.
