Not always..

 

12:00:00 is exactly midnight so it cant be after midnight, hence you have 1 second to shoot the Welsh person with a bow and arrow.

[Hoff 0]

12:00:00 is exactly midnight? But what about nanoseconds? Based upon that logic, I propose that it is NEVER midnight, and consequently never AFTER midnight. Get your bows, Brits.
