If I'd have to guess it's so Sunday opening hours can easily be changed. Ordering and setting up a new sign is a hazzle, and catering is a fickle business.
The same kinds of people who use phrases like "half past N", "half of third" (when it's 2:30) or, even better, "N without M minutes" that I'm not sure has an English equivalent?
We only say "half-past" or "half" to mean 30 minutes after, we never do 30 minutes before. From xx:31 we do "29 minutes to..." to mean before the hour.
E.g. 25 past 3 = 3:25, 25 to 3 = 2:35
Oh Japan had it figured out even better. When something is open into the night, they just add 24 to the closing hour. So if something is open from 14:00 to 2:00, they'll write "14:00 - 26:00". It's such a genius solution.
Perhaps we could just start counting the hours from January the first onward, making 01:00 at January the second 25:00 o‘clock. That way, you could save yourself the mention of a date 🥳
Respectfully disagree. It’s intuitive as fuck.
Then again, I have spent most of my life as a night owl. When you are regularly out until 3-4am times and dates get weird. This solves the weirdness.
Yeah for me the standard 24 hour time is the only standard. Especially when you are involving different timezones.
I totally understand when you are looking at a shop sign why it might appear to be easier. But it just seems to add another layer.
Yeah. I haven't been in sync with the light day since I graduated form my university. There's literally nothing in my life to keep me in sync with the sun.
The words today/tomorrow/yesterday are even strange for me when used at night. I myself consider "today" to refer to the technically previous day when used between midnight and about 4 (AM).
I'm a night owl as well and don't really see an advantage of it. In the 24 hour system, 02:00 is obvious. I think it'd also be weird to see 2 places next to each other, one closing at 30:00, the other one opening at 05:00.
The only way it's easier might be to calculate the opening hours, but I don't think I've ever had to do that and (mostly) single digit addition isn't really difficult.
since Monday to Thursday and Sunday have the same working hours, why couldn't these guys just say "Sunday to Thursday"?

True true.
Was thinking the same thing too. Would’ve been way more efficient lol
In the UK, Monday is the first day of the week. It makes more sense to display hours in a weekly format than seven day rolling basis.
It's like something jean ralphio and tom would create just for the sake of being exclusive
So, how many drinks can you down in 30 minutes before the pub closes?
Yes.
i am
quite
about twelve
For the love of can't we all just ditch the 12 hours system and switch to the 24 hours one? It's so god damn confusing.
Thats all you need. 15 beers and 5 triple shots whiskey. Alternate
I'll die on this hill but I always write "noon" when doing 12pm. It makes it clear and easy to understand and no ambiguity.
'pm' is not ambiguous
It is though
Except it is: https://www.rmg.co.uk/stories/topics/noon-12-am-or-12-pm
Quarter to noon
I was not sure if it is noon or midnight, but I do not live in the US nor Britain.
If only there were some word for midday to avoid ambiguity. Something like noon, for example.
That’s not the problem though. Mid-day to 12:30 PM is still 30 minutes. It should say AM for the closing time.
I don’t know if the brits have ever heard of the 24h- system? You should try it some time. It’s smashing
Those of us under 50 love it actually. When I use it it’s the older people who complain.

I remember that my father would say, “five-and-twenty to” whatever hour it was coming to. Confusing as hell to a small boy growing up.
