There are lots of ways of counting night, depending on whether you look at a fixed time throughout the year (9pm-6am) or count twilight (civil, nautical, astronomical) but it could also come down to definitions of darker when used in the context of a darker night. Really it's not that important, it was just strange to see someone react so strongly against someone with very poor English being quoted (by media) as having used darker to refer to Manchester nights when it's not entirely incorrect.
