So would I! And just to make a nerdish point, the time separator in the UK▸ (United Kingdom) is traditionally a full stop rather than a colon, so 23.47 rather than 23:47…
And on the 12 hour clock five past seven traditionally would be 7.5 rather than 7.05 but I can't remember the last time I saw that.

Yes but those of us who have worked on standards for the last 30 years have a colon separator engrained in us as that is the ISO standard which is also adopted by BSI▸ (British Standards Institute) as a British Standard.

So my nerdishness would grate at the use of a full stop!

I was only a quarter serious. Yes, colon makes sense.

Anyway I'll just go back to listening to Maggie Reilly singing Moonlight Shadow... what's that, Maggie? It's 4am in the morning, is it? Thank goodness, I thought it was 4am in the afternoon!
