This is a question B3TA fixes the world

Moon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

Right.
All clocks to be turned back by six hours.

Thusly, the day will start at 0.00hrs (or 06.00hrs in today's time), midday is at 6.00, the 'day' ends and 'night' starts at 12.00hrs (old 18.00hrs), midnight will be at 18.00hrs (old 12.00) and as the old day draws to it's end just before morning, it will be 23.59hrs etc.

Can't think why this hasn't been done ages ago.

You might also have to redefine "night" and "day"
"Night" being currently the dark bit between sunset and sunrise, and "day" the light bit between sunrise and sunset.

Currently, midday happens more or less in the middle of the day, and midnight in the middle of the night. "Midnight" at 6pm in the summer might take a bit of getting used to.

Ah ha
Day - the light bit, starts at 00.00hrs and 'mid day' is at 6.00, half way through, ends at the end of day: 12.00.

Night then begins with 13.00 and midnight at 18.00, is this not logical?

What's logical about midday being also 12.00pm
