Nothing more than pointing out that religion is at the route of having Sunday off. Church and archery being the only legitimate things you could on a Sunday. It was compulsory to attend both morning and evening services.
When I graduated many moons ago, I took a job in Gloucester and as I needed the money I started work pretty much straight away. I rented a room in a house, having done the sharing thing before, but this one didn't really work out (born again Christian landlady who I had zero in common with). I knew no one and it was a couple of months before the rest of that years graduates joined and formed a social group.
But like in lockdown, is that boredom necessarily a bad thing? A bit of time every week, away from the grind of work and commerce?
This is a perfect advert for what I have been suggesting. Who wants to be dragged around a garden center or B&Q when you could be doing this?
Maybe for some, but there's nothing stopping people from just idling away their Sundays if that's what they want to do - just don't try and force it on the rest of us.
Let me guess. Unmarried?
I'd rather people did idle away their Sundays instead of having a stressful life where the only opportunity to squeeze in a trip to IKEA is Sunday.
Isle of Lewis is where my paternal ancestors came from and Sunday restrictions have been relaxed, somewhat, since the days when even the swings in the children’s’ playgrounds were chained up and no ferries ran etc.!
Working weekend in most jobs pays a higher rate than weekday too - recognising that the weekend is NOT a normal working day.
Oh yes there was - but it didn’t involve the customers!Bah humbug to you too.
No Season of Goodwill at your premises, obviously!
So your favourite days. Getting bagels and coffee. Where from? People working I suspect.
Sounds quite pleasant to be fair. Both domestic cups were respected, the champions league was far more efficient and contested by real champions.
JPS 40 over competition
I am really glad to hear that because I have found our exchanges with on this thread rather unpleasant and you for some obscure reason have responded to every one of my posts with a rather rude and angry attitude.
Clearly many folk would rather be queuing up in B&Q to buy light bulbs and a washer for a tap than having a leisurely Tubthumper extended lunch with choice wine, decent background music and good conversation.
Stop clutching your pearls dear and no I don't need a thesis on the reason.I am really glad to hear that because I have found our exchanges with on this thread rather unpleasant and you for some obscure reason have responded to every one of my posts with a rather rude and angry attitude.
(And no, the bagels and coffee were not from a shop, a bunch of us would go to a mates’ houses - most of us had bagels in the house and real coffee - we weren’t complete plebs but we did know how to enjoy our Sundays, even in a Capital City).
