March to the last Sunday in October.
Denmark uses the 24-hour clock system and all timetables and business hours are pos-
ted accordingly.

which means o'clock, is abbreviated as kl (kl 19.30 is 7.30pm).
The Danes number their weeks, and refer to them as such - eg schools break for winter
holidays in week 7; some businesses are closed for summer holidays in weeks 29 and
