Description Ooblick 2006-12-19 00:20:29 UTC 
The en_GB locale has no am/pm representation string:

Expected result:

> date +"%p"
PM
>

Actual result:

> date +"%p"

>

(A blank response). This has the knock on effect of there being no 12 hour option in the Gnome clock, and the Evolution calendar is stuck on 24 hour time.

Attached is a patch to glibc to add this to the en_GB locale.
