In the United Kingdom continental time can refer to the Central European Time zone or the 24-hour clock although the latter usage is now rare as use of the 24-hour clock has increased.
Famous quotes containing the word time:
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
