I have long stuck rigidly to 12 midnight to 12 noon being morning, 12 noon to 6pm being afternoon and 6pm to 12 midnight being evening, because it fits into nice segments of 6 hours or a multiple of 6 hours each. Yet around 10am-11am is referred to as "mid-morning"?!?:huh: It should be 5am-7am. If 10-11am is mid-morning, then the morning would either start at 9am, which clearly it doesn't as hours around breakfast-time (approx. 6am-8am) are part of "morning", or morning must run well into the afternoon:rotfl:.

My calendar date, and day of the week, starts at 12 midnight, regardless of the time of year. Most people's doesn't seem to: their day seems to start at 2am and between 12midnight and 2am, they are still on the previous day: phrases such as "tonight", between 12midnight and 2am meaning the same overnight period, whereas if I say "tonight" immediately after 12midnight, I mean a period starting around 18 hours away. If I want to refer to other people's "tonight" and it's already after midnight, then I am on "this morning" as including the overnight period at that time and well as all the rest of the morning until midday. For me, "tonight" at 12midnight-2am (or, bizarrely, even later than that) was people's last night and has already gone (6pm-midnight). Some of that may be other people's evening (6pm maybe until 8pm) with their tonight from around 8pm or sunset (may vary depending on the time of year and location in the country) until 2am(?)!?!

For me, morning is 12 midnight to 12 midday and it may be in two parts: 12 midnight to 6am as overnight morning (may end earlier in the summer when the sun has risen: it isn't then overnight but is day) and the rest as morning morning. However, only recently I discovered that, during parts of June/July, there technically isn't any night at all since the sun never goes below 18 degrees and the most it gets is astronomical twilight. Therefore, I can't now have any overnight in June/July: there is no night. And for me there isn't any "daytime, civil twilight, nautical twilight" and then "rest of the night" as astronomical twilight, as that is twilight and not night.

There is then the question of a division between evening and night. My "evening" runs from 6pm to midnight, at which time it is night as the sky is dark, yet there is no night in part of June/July and into August in some places, but after midnight is also morning. People's "night" seems to start earlier than mine: around 8pm maybe when I am still on "evening". Their "tonight" seems to be my evening and early hours of the morning, but ending around sunrise. Saying "tonight" at 5 minutes past midnight is ridiculous to me as it is now morning: it's a new day and "tonight" is therefore now nearly 18 hours away. As regards "night" (maybe "tonight"), the News at Ten at night(?), evening is still introduced with "Good evening" - they don't say "Good night" at the start.

That leaves us the question of when evening begins. My evening has a strict start at 6pm, probably because I like nice neat divisions of half as morning and equal quarters of afternoon and evening (they have to be equal, otherwise they are not quarters). 5pm to 6pm is usually the period where some are on afternoon and some on evening. For me I am on afternoon until 6pm, then on evening. When there was a news at 5.40 however, it was always the "Early Evening" News and not "Late Afternoon". I used to insist it was still afternoon! The Six O'Clock News on the other side was then evening.

As regards whether it is afternoon or evening between 5pm and 6pm, surely the BBC would know? On the News Channel they normally have BBC News at Five between 5pm and 6pm on weekdays. Huw Edwards starts with "Today at five..." (suggesting afternoon, or at least day (and not evening or night)) but Jane Hill always begins with "Tonight at five...". For Huw it is day but for Jane it is night. Day and night are opposing - how can it be both(?)?!?:huh: "Tonight" would suggest evening, even though it says night (and Jane says this even when, in high summer, there is no night). Various other presenters who may cover the News at Five refer to today, tonight and good afternoon and good evening. It just depends on who you get and sometimes even the same presenter says afternoon on some occasions and evening on others. They might not consciously be thinking about it, after all sometimes if you've been working since 8 or 9am and pick up the phone after midday, you might still say, in error, "Good morning" when you meant to say "Good afternoon" and, if you have been working since 2pm, you might say "Good afternoon" at 5pm (and maybe even 6pm if you forget how late it is) but if you started your workday at 5pm and were working late, you might start on "Good evening".

Tonight (is it yet tonight?), or at least this evening, is an excellent night (or day) to check as both the National and Regional News began between 5 and 6pm: the National News at 5.20pm and Regional News at 5.30pm. So, what do BBC presenters think?

The National News at 5.20pm, it was apparently evening.
The Regional News 5.30pm: despite being "evening" at 5.20, it then went back to afternoon in Cambridge and in the East at 5.30 - Hello, good afternoon
Farther south, where daylight may last longer, perhaps afternoon continues until later in the day doesn't it?!?:

Channel Islands/South West - Hello, good evening
Apparently not.

Let's try the East Midlands. Cambridge was afternoon so a bit north of there it is: "Now the news for the East Midlands, good evening..."
Farther north, it's still evening:

East Yorkshire/Lincolnshire - "Hello and good evening from Look North..."
London - "Welcome to BBC London News...", so we don't know
We might imagine, as it was "evening" in the East Midlands and in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, as we went farther north it might even more become that way...
North East & Cumbria - Good afternoon (:rotfl:)
Northern Ireland -
North West - Hello, good evening.
Scotland is surely on evening by now (17:30): Good evening. [Yes it is - however I have heard "Good afternoon" on Reporting Scotland around this time of day before.]
Wales - Hello good evening noswaith dda
Oxfordshire/South - Hello and welcome to South Today [Threfore we don't know.]
South East - Good evening
West -

West Midlands - Good afternoon
Yorkshire -

To me, morning begins when the sun starts to rise & the birds start singing. Afternoon is after lunch ie 12 noon onwards and evening begins when I have had my dinner (or evening meal) usually about 6pm

Just had the most delicious but probably not the most healthy use-up meal thanks to Di's inspiration

Steak from the freezer, mushrooms, onions & tomatoes from the reduced counter that wanted using - oh no chips but lots of potatoes so made my own - extremely yummy

Now to watch a bit of tv - episode 5 of bodyguard, I know I am behind the times but am loving it
