Tescos, please define 12am.

So if a shift worker finishes a shift at 2.00am and needs to get something on the way home they only have 15 minutes ?
Am I reading it correctly?

Edited….just checked opening hours, thought they were 24 hours, didn’t realise they closed at midnight.

Mar 2020 I think.

Tescos, please define 12am.

12am = midnight (start of the day)
12pm = midday (start of the afternoon)

Looks like they have forgotten to include days of operation for the 3 and 1-hour limits. Could be grounds for appeal for tickets issued for the 6pm to 12am 15-minute overstay. As signage permits longer stays on all days of 1 or 3 hours.

2 of which are disabled. I encourage people depriving parking companies of money but I am not a monster.

didn't realise they had converted 2 of them

Wouldn't surprise me that they don't have to mention days because it's the same for every week of the year.

And it's not exactly hard to understand. When the shop isn't open you can only use the car park for 15 minutes.

If only the owners of Kingsmead did the same, but start the 15 minute limit when Aldi and B&M close at 10pm.

No.
12am means 12 ante meridiem or 12 before midday which it is not
and
12pm means 12 post meridiem or 12 after midday which it is not.
The only way to avoid confusion is to use '12 noon' and '12 midnight'.

They should use 24hr format to avoid confusion

Or use a 24 hour format

No, 24 hour clocks cause confusion, such as '15.00' taken as 5pm and arriving two hours late.

That's your opinion only, I disagree

It's my opinion based on the fact that I've known that mistake to have been made a few times.

Nonesense.

Well the people who make that mistake must be monumentally thick then.

Well the people who make that mistake must be monumentally thick then.

Or have learning difficulties for new things.
Or have declining mental capacity with advanced age.
But of course it's much easier just to label any such unfortunate creatures as "monumentally thick".

I find the 24 hour format much easier. All my digital clocks (and watches) are set to 24 hour format, plus I have one of these:

It should also be noted that Horizon Parking's app (to book extended parking on the Tesco car park) also uses the 24 hour clock.

So do you only have to wind that one up half as often ? !!

No, it's battery operated.

The clock does, however, wind certain visitors up.

In Weston churchyard, noon is 0 o'clock.
