The debate about 24-hour clocks and timetables of recent days "reminds of a favourite bushie's joke", writes Murray Hutton, of Mount Colah. "A plane enters Darwin air space and, without identifying itself, asks traffic control for the local time. Traffic control replies 'If you're an international flight, it's 1600 hours. If you're a domestic flight, it's 4 o'clock. If you're a local, the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is on the four. If you're a bush pilot, it's Wednesday'."Column 8 | smh.com.au
