Sorry to reveal my ignorance but do you mean you have a metric hour or something ????

Well we don´t use "A.M." or "P.M.". After twelve we just keep on counting till 24, which would be midnight. e.g. 3:00 PM would be 15:00 Uhr.
In the eastern part of Germany we don´t say " quarter to..." or "quarter past..." (but we understand what is meant whith it) We used to say " quarter ten " which means quarter past nine or " three quarters ten" that means quarter to ten. The people from Westgermany don´t understand this. They believe quarter ten means quarter past ten so they will be one hour to late :biggrin:

OK, this one's clear, usually called the 24hr clock, or airport time, ( although I looked up "Uhr" in google which gave it = to "o'clock" in English just to help confuse things, perhaps even google is not perfect :smile: )

:biggrin:

That is some kind of a system :lol: ! There is a nice English saying, "Better Late than Never" although I guess you maybe reverse it (although the famed German work ethic is looking a bit shaky these days).

Good morning to all
Or of course afternoon, evening, night etc
I am joining the Forums so I can find out more opinions about my favourite subject... (yes, I know its quite sad) Private Standards!
I spent quite a few years at a retailer and sat on a lot of committees
Now I'm an independent consultant and part of what I do is write about Private Standards

I always like the quote from US writer, Max Beerbaum

"There is much to be said for failure. It is more interesting than success"

Hello Ralph, At last you made it through the entrance. Now you're in you are very welcome and we look forward to your input on the discussions. When you say you write about private standards; I'm intrigued to find out more. If you want to tell.

Dear Simon,

When I lookin' for some 'off-topic' materials at the forum, I found this topic. And I realize that how rude I am, coz not involved on the vote and say hello on this thread.

Well, as someone always said, better too late than nothing. Then: I am from Indonesia, too bad not listed on the vote:( , I born, lived, work, eat, sleep on Java Island, please come visit us. We will be pleased to welcome all of you:)

BTW Simon, are you still wondering about NKOTB? It was New Kids On The Block. A boys band at 90's era (ah.. that time...). But ocassionally it used to call a newbie (of course, literally)... As for the band, well I admit I am a great fan of them at that time:) What I like the most is: Tonight and She is My Cover Girl. (Oh.. how embarrasing, I cant believe sayin that on this respectful forum...:P)

IF
safety and quality means perfection
AND
nobody's perfect
THEN
why should I bother?

Hi,

I'm Portuguese, live in Wales and work in England :biggrin:
An international forum was just what I needed!

And as Food safety and Quality are my main interest...
I feel like a fish in the water :thumbup: .

Thank you,

Dear Vera,

Maybe someone did it already, but just in case not, Welcome to the forum ! :welcome:

Are you saying that you live on the England / Wales border (if there is one ?) or you just like to hear singing at home all the time ? :smile:

Hi Charles,

Yes, I do live in Wrexham which is on the "border" :biggrin: ,

but maybe thats because I like hear singing (though I did not totally get it :rolleyes: , I'm in slow motion today)...

Thank you for the warm welcome,

Vera
