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:
“I was surprised by Joe’s asking me how far it was to the Moosehorn. He was pretty well acquainted with this stream, but he had noticed that I was curious about distances, and had several maps. He and Indians generally, with whom I have talked, are not able to describe dimensions or distances in our measures with any accuracy. He could tell, perhaps, at what time we should arrive, but not how far it was.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
