The UK, as is often the case with these things, uses a horrible cursed halfway house system. I have every digital clock I own set to 24h time but know that I would get weird looks if I made plans with someone to meet at 18

Same in Finland for spoken and some written (chat) stuff, that's where most of the time 12h is used, with just "let's meet at six" (no am or pm but clarified if not obvious from context).

Took me the longest time to understand what y'all meant by half-six. 5:30? 6:30? Now I'm unsure again. It is half past six, correct?

It is in the UK! I fucked up a couple of times in Germany because it's the other way round there
