Afternoon All,
when I lived in blighty, we thought we could not live without 24/7 shops being open.
even today my cousin tells me that a weekend 'out' trip for his Boss and family is to go to the 'Mall' (those of us from Nice Coat That Jacket Land know where I mean), when one would have thought a nice day out for a family could be visiting country side or a place of historical, geographical, architectural, scientific interest etc
when we moved to Germany, it took some time to get used to the majority of shops closing at 16:00 on Saturday and being closed Sunday too, but in the end we got used to it and planned our shopping accordingly which actually free'd up Sundays for proper social time like visiting places of historical, geographical, architectural, scientific interest etc
and now the point of all this....
CUK Holiday
maybe the best holiday for the majority of us sadoes here, would be....
for the admins to ban us all for a week and then we come back refreshed
it would be an interesting social experiment in 21st century social media technology to observe what happens here in the absence of the majority of us lot, and what happens upon the return
Milan.
