As the clock ticks over from 8.01pm on Wednesday,

for sixty seconds only, read in perfect symmetry 2002, 2002, 2002, or to be
more precise - 20:02, 20/02, 2002.
The last time there was such a symmetrical pattern was long before the days
of the digital watch and the 24-hour clock - at 10.01am on January 10,
1001. And because the clock only goes up to 23.59, it is something that
will never happen again.
I remember 12:34 5/6/78 quite well...it was amusing...
