Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
End of Summer Festival in Harringay!
We're organising an End of Summer Festival on Saturday 27 September from 12pm till 9pm for everyone in and around Harringay.
It's going to be a day filled with good food, drinks, art, music, and loads to do for kids too.
We are still looking for people to help out and volunteer on that day, so if you want to be involved, let me know!
And save the date, cause we want to see all of you and your friends, family and neighbours there!

A 21-hour long End of Summer Festival may prove a little wearying on the neighbourhood. Did you have trouble getting the nocturnal licence? I ask because in the recent past the Traders' Food-flogging & Barberous September Festival never kicked off before Noon.

Pedant alert. OEA is up to his trick's again. 12pm being midnight…. I suspect he will be picking me up on my grammer and spellings next to!
That or he will be rocking in the isle at 2 in the am….

Actually I think you are right, I just checked Wiki, that grand font of all knowledge, and it says noon is 12pm… Shows how much I know!

12 noon is neither a.m. nor p.m.
To avoid confusion, the correct designation for 12 o'clock is 12 noon or 12 midnight. Alternatively, the 24-hour clock system may be used.
The abbreviation a.m. stands for ante-meridiem (before the Sun has crossed the line) and p.m. for post-meridiem (after the Sun has crossed the line). At 12 noon, the Sun is at its highest point in the sky and directly over the meridian. It is therefore neither 'ante-' nor 'post-'.

If Jessica starts the festival at one second past noon I reckon she could still justifiably say 12pm!
Confusingly however, "noon" comes from "ninth hour" - actually the ninth hour after sunrise. Not twelve o'clock however you look at it!
I'd do a link if it wasn't such a pain on phone! -

Ant. I see your web link with one of my own… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-hour_clock#Confusion_at_noon_and_mi..., though they somewhat advise you adopt the convention you set out here...

12pm IS 12noon!
If 12am was 12 noon then there would be 11 hours and 59 minutes between 12am and 12.01 am.
Which frankly, is barking.

So why have you advertised it as from "12 post meridiem" instead of 12 Noon or Midday.? Let's have a bit of logic hereabouts. Jessica's Festival which isn't Jessica's though it's on Jessica's new stomping ground starts at midnight on the Friday-Saturday and ends some 21 weary hours later.
I see Jutsin has been calling me "OEA". Better, I guess, than having Harringay Labour's johnny-come-latelies addressing me over familiarly and inaccurately as "Old-Age".

And another thing . . . .:
Since Jessica's post is "End of Summer Festival in Harringay", why is she organising one? Surely that title suggests that, at best, she may organise a Winterval?
