>>Well its been used all around the world!!

But not in Germany though... Germany usually works with the 24-hour time system i.e. it starts with

 0:00 (midnight) until 12:00 (midday) to 12:59 and just continues with 13:00 (1pm), 14:00 (2pm), 15:00 (3pm)... until 23:59 (11.59pm). 
For midnight you can use both 24:00 and 0:00. 
The latter is then used again for the next hour...

What about other countries?
