Having a debate whether midnight on 16th is Sunday night going into Monday or Monday going into Tuesday?
Surely midnight on the sixteenth means Monday night, because after that it's the early hours of Tuesday the 17th?An interesting one I was thinking about the other day. I think Andy is right in that's the way the RPA understand it to be but I believe that technically midnight on the 16th must be when the day changes from the 15th. The reason being that if the clock changes to 0000 then at that moment it's the next day which on the 16th would be in about 6 minutes. It is the 15th until 23.59.9999999999999999 and then at that point is the deadline: 00;00 on the 16th
But 00;00 is midnight. 00:00 is the point at which a new day starts. So 00:00 on the 16th has just passed. The next 00;00 will be the start of the seventeenth day.Surely midnight on the sixteenth means Monday night, because after that it's the early hours of Tuesday the 17th?
Didn't say I hadn't submitted yet, ok probably a worthless post which I apologise forJeeeeeezzzzz, I'm a prime example of putting paperwork off until the last minute but, if I was that bothered about when the feckin deadline was, even I would have sent in off a day early to avoid having to have an existential debate as to when one day stops and another one starts
No need to apologise, I just found it amusingDidn't say I hadn't submitted yet, ok probably a worthless post which I apologise for
They will, because they can and it'll find something to keep them all occupiedI really hope they dont spent a fortune on a new computer system now this one seems to work well.
Not worthless if it 'gee's ' along someone who has left it till last minute.Didn't say I hadn't submitted yet, ok probably a worthless post which I apologise for
After 2024 in England you won't, as there will be a delinked payment.I do wonder why we have to do this every year. Most of us have the same acreage every year ? Different crops.......but so what ?
