What country is that? I’ve only really seen 12h time in America and it’s colonies.

In Finland its common to use 12h time in conversation. Digital clocks are 24 hours, but many people still use analog clocks, which are always 12 hours.

And for what its worth, the name for Wednesday, keskiviiko, means midweek.

German “mittwoch” for midweek too.

We might say beers at 5, but I haven’t seen “5.00p” rather than 1700 in written form for decades outside of the US

Netherland. I suspect it's pretty common across continental Europe.
