Half Eleven
I think it is not only me who is having issues trying to figure out so called "british time".
I've got a appointment for "half eleven" any normal South African (like me) would figure that that means "half past ten" (half way to eleven) but nooo, it means "half past eleven" in the "british time".
Why people cannot open their mouthes and say "past" inbetween those words are above me.
So, the rule (as per Oryx) would be anything !ZA, ie. skip your initial guestimate and +1 and you should be ok.

Thats just fucking stupid! Sounds like a stupid fucking bunch to me.
Oh since this comment probably wont make it past the delete button.. I would like to say POES and FOK JOU MA. (to the brits)
thanks
Dev

Hahaha. I like the fact that the brits don't understand any afrikaans. When I was there lastyear on some goodwill-save-the-day-mission one of my collegues there was fortunately ex-south-african, and every time stupid technical manager would do something insanely stupid (like blaming my preference for vi for the fact that their insanely-stupid cvs setup fucked out) i'll end up ranting loud (and in front of the guy) to said collegue in afrikaans. Kindof helps. :)
fortunately this manager isn't working for us anymore. :) i think all the smart brits come to south africa and make money here.

You should move to Holland, here its the same notation as the Afriks system and I am *always* confused.
I ask for 24 hr time now to make absolutely certain I have the right time. And how about poor Sebastian - we have the 'half past' notation at home, and he learns 'half elf' en 'half tien' at school so now he is always confused too ;) Try being 5 years old and having two time systems.
