Does anybody know the real reason why certain countries do it mm/dd/yyyy rather than dd/mm/yyyy.

I suppose there is some weird historical reason, but I am curious to know why.

Which brings us neatly on to the question...


Q - Why do Scotsmen wear kilts?
A - The sheep had learned to recognise the sound of a zipper :)

:lol:

The old ones are the best ones :)

I have no idea,

but when someone walks up to me and asks,

"When is your birthday?"

I answer,

"May twenty-fifth, 1956."

So I was comfortable when I learned the colonial way to do it on paper...

May 25th, 1956 ...

05/25/56.

I understand that the US military uses DD/MM/YY,

but they ALWAYS want to sound different.

;)

ANYWAY

if you want your serial number all scrambled up and 'Europeeny'

on my designs,

then ...

stop shooting me down!!!

gah!

](*,)


but I understand that many cultures are quite different from others

I hear that some supposedly advanced societies ...

drive on the LEFT side of the road.

Imagine that?!

Now I have the smartest (and sexiest) Spit in the group! (At least, until you put a carp on the tail of Tactical's :lol: )
Excellent work!

But don't worry about paint chips. I expect I'l have my mechanic touch it up every time I finish a sortie.

Well gurb,

in the Netherlands we use

dd-mm-jjjj i think that's a logical order days months years.

or it should be jjjj-mm-dd

just like time but with time it is hours - minutes - sec's

but not mm-dd-jjjj

does not make sence to me

but never mind i am Dutch ( thats close to belgium)



And spitsfire the so called

- other national roundels W T H is that ??

These are the Dutch's 'FIS type 4' Roundrels
