Or got any plans for the week?

It was my SO's birthday and she wanted to go to a local transport museum, which was actually great fun riding around the site on trains, trams and trolley buses. A couple of shots of some 1920s trams.

Went to the shops ... remembered they shut early on Sunday ... came back from the shops (I say at least it wasn't raining, but it was)

It’s absolutely mental the time shops close on a Sunday down in England.

Left for my work induction down Portsmouth on a Sunday and realised I’d forgotten my belt about half way down. Figured I’d just stop at an Asda or something. Couple of hours from Portsmouth and I fired one into the satnav. Took a wee detour and pulled up to an empty car park maybe the back of 6 in the evening. Felt like this guy.

[insert another post from an always confused Scot when in England on a Sunday]

I consider it yet another ADHD tax. We live a less than 5 minute walk from a big Asda that is open 24/7, I seriously don't think I could cope with wacky Sunday opening rules.

To be fair, I was down in London seeing Helloween and on the way back to my cousin’s flat she got us off the bus to go into the big Tesco where we all got a cargo at like half 12 at night! Was blown away.

How did you keep your trousers up for the first part of the journey?

[-] Finnbot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Should have clarified - induction required me to wear a suit. For a 8 hour drive I was wearing shorts and t shirt!

To be fair, I was just being a wind up merchant.

Keep up the good work!

Sunday trading laws are one of my bugbears.

Either close completely like they used to, or open as normal. This halfway house thing is just stupid.
