The 24 hour clock is understood by everyone in Europe, all pilots, all sailors and everyone in the military worldwide. UK postal addresses can be defined by simply the postcode and house number such as 21/RG26 5BY. Addresses are written with all the details but the delivery driver simply has to read the number at the beginning and the postcode at the end.
We tend to have short street numbers because we have shorter streets due to the town layout being focused on people rather than vehicles. The post codes are constructed with the 2 letters of the main postal sorting office in an area. eg. Where I am in Cornwall my closest sorting office is in Truro so my post code starts with TR Next is the 2 digits that represent the town you are in (or closest to), then the final 2 letters and number represent the street.
In Scotland I think I had 1 or 2 years of nursery, started primary 1 when i was 4 years old, then up to primary 7. After the summer i went to secondary school or more commonly callled high school starting first year when I was 11 years old, i left in fith year when i was 16. That was through 80s/90s.
Nil is from latin. it is the shortened version of nihil. Nought is old English. Both just mean "nothing". No idea when people started saying the letter o for the number 0, but TV and radio are likely to blame in the 70s with constantly repeating the phone number with an o.
The reason for the long billion is because we stuck to jumping up each factor by multiplying by itself. eg. 10x10 = 100 100 x 100 = 1000 1000 x 1000 = 1, 000,000 1, 000,000 x 1, 000,000 = 1,000,000,000,000
Education system in England and Wales: Age 5 (on 1st Sept) = Reception Age 6 = Year 1 Age 7 = Year 2, and so on. However Years 12 and 13 (for ages 16 and 17 on 1st Sept) is also know as the 'Sixth Form'.
A lot of UK houses not only use numbers a lot of uk houses have names instead. There are streets in the uk that are numbered but they are in the singular numbers ie 1st Avenue or 2nd AVE up to the number 9. But they are few and far between When I grew up we started school at 5 yes old but could start at 4 if we went to playschool but most kid's started at 5 and spent two yrs at infant school or the first school we went to then at 7 we went to primary school or junior school until we for 4 yrs then we moved into secondary or senior school from 11 to 16 but each school we went to the grading was known as 1st yr at every school then for the number of yrs we went to each school we went from the 1st year 2nd year 3rd year and so on but after I left the school system sort of Americanised with the American grading system with the final yr ending at yr 11 with the school leaver being 16. But the UK Govt then altered the leaving age to 18 so it kind of went on to year 13 in UK schools!
We do both in the uk.if your wearing a watch it says 3.30 you.d say 3.30.if its a train timetable or bus etc you use the 24 hour.if its 3.30 it would 15.30 .
Uuuuh no I think he just grew up around digital clocks that someone else set to 24 hour mode. Most people in the UK set their clock to 12 hour mode and show AM/PM because they don't have to calculate the difference.

The 7 with the line though is a hangover from the Norman occupation and is much more common in France.

I prefer to use the astronomical/ European definition of a billion (1,000,000,00). I do astronomy as a hobby , so it makes more sense for me.

A 24 hour clock is more logical than having times the same at night and day. All you need to do is subtract 12 if you want the AM/PM time.
Dates in Estonia used day / month / year . In USA month /day / year but in Japan year /day / month .
Oh thanks for sharing that🥰
