In Canada I've noticed 24-hour time used more in Quebec than in the other 
provinces, although everything governmental or official or 
transportation-related seems to be in 24-hour time regardless of the province.

In Poland 24h time is used for day to day activities.  You invite guests over 
for dinner at 16:00, you tell your friends that you stay up till 23:00 with the 
kids, etc.  This is probably normal throughout continental Europe.

A bit off topic here but do any countries actually use the 24 hour format in 
their day to day activities? I have heard it referenced on the BBC site but 
especially in the US and Canada the only time 24 hour format is used is in 
conjunction with military time and military operations.  




In Canada, 24 hour time is often seen in relation to air and train travel.
Schedules and the status displays at airports and train stations are listed 
in 24 hour time.
