Not reading my posts doesn't make me wrong.

Anyway, read up on ISO 8601. We officially adopted this standard since at least 1992, replacing the old BS7151:87.

ISO 8601 denotes 1BC as year zero. Thus, the official millennium celebration was indeed 2000-01-01.

Hard luck, Keith. L o L

London's a little far for a babycham. I'll have to let you know next time I'm down that way.

I hope you're not as rude face to face.

If I was 'wrong wrong wrong' then it can't have been 'well pedanted' (if that's even a word). It would just have been a 'good attempt at pedantry'.

Fear not, I was right and so 'well pedanted' was a decent call!

I like it how I'm the pedant when it was you and Steve that came out with the first attempts at pedantry re the now archaic Anno Domini millennium. It's never pedantry when it's you doing the correcting!

How convenient! Well, at least now you know the UKs official way of time keeping. You never know, it might come in handy one day.

Toodle-pip!

You replied to the wrong post. You called Mysteryman a 'retard' for doing that!
