For Canadians only

[In Canada eh]

Do you go by Metric time in Southwestern Ontario as well?

Actually yes but only half and half.  I have to record stuff at work in 24 hour or "metric" time but I still prefer to use 12 hour time measurement

I always hated it in my younger days when I'd be in Canada at a bar and someone would say "it's 9:99, 1 minute until midnight"!

The Big 3 (GM Ford and Chrysler) all use metric.  Most of our local tool mold and die shops convetrt to imperial during the tool build and then convert back to metric during the tool checking stage.  In the Windsor area, we have a huge Detroit television and radio influence and use imperial temperature for the most part.  My friends in the Toronto area use metric for the most part.  My Family in Quebec uses metric exclusively.

LOL.   Neither metric nor decimal time ever caught on, not even with the French revolutionaries.  

Anybody remember 'swatch time'? Some other systems have evidently found some acceptance.  http://www.decimaltime.hynes.net/metric.html has a discussion of various "metric" and other time and date systems.  

I still prefer the unambiguous 2007/10/05 14:52:36  to the confusing  5/10/07 (is that May 10, or Oct. 5? Depends on who you ask!)  Given a time of 2:52 -  Is that 2 in the morning or 2 in the afternoon?  If the a.m. or p.m designation is missing, you have no way of knowing

HotSpring tubs can be set to read out in C or F - and they will not change back even if Bill's sister in law sits on the control panel - there is a jumper in the control box.
