An important survey:

[Poll #1060840]

Yes, I know 12pm isn't a meaningful time. But people use it, so I want to know what is generally understood by it. If you want a box for "I wouldn't understand anything by it, because it's a stupid thing to say", then you can't have one; just imagine that the something happening is important and you're forced to take a guess.

I thought that there wasn't any ambiguity because in clock lessons when I was small 12pm was noon and midnight is 12 am (or 00:00 on a 24 hour clock thus removing ambiguity). And that was official.

American official it turns out - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-hour_clock
Greenwich are more pedantic and say to be more specific :-)
