From `man date`:

       %l     hour ( 1..12)

...
       %M     minute (00..59)
...

       %p     locale's equivalent of either AM or PM; blank if not known

       %P     like %p, but lower case

I'd be curious to compare with the output of `date +"%r"` on your system, but you probably actually want to set:

  LANG="en_GB.UTF-8"
  LC_TIME="POSIX"

in order to get the correct results.
