No, somebody with administrative powers who is totally out of step with the rest of the world, insists on placing the day in front of the month when using numerical sequence for the date...jdkwibble...Ben




(edit... it's always nice when someone with administrative powers accidentally hits 'edit' instead of 'quote...JDK... oops)

Strangely... when Dazza put that banner up I commented that it could look like an April Fools day joke in the future to our American friends... he just pulled a face - a bit like this jdkcross

Yes, you're absolutely right. I apologise unreservedly for using the little endian format for the date which is only used by Albania, Algeria, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Greenland, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Hong Kong, Honduras, Iceland, Iran, Ireland, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lebanon, Libya, Luxembourg, Macau, Macedonia, Malaysia, Mexico, Montenegro, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Oman,
Pakistan, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Tajikistan, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, Vietnam and Yemen;

as opposed to the more common middle endian format which is used by... let's see... Belize, Canada, the Phillipines and Kenya (who can't make up their minds, apparently), the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, Puerto Rico and the United States.

To avoid confusion, maybe we should stick to the UN approved ISO 8601 format.
