How much do you like Sunday's? As good or better than Saturday?
When I grew up in the 80's and the 90's (I was born in 1978) Sundays really were the pits. I hated Sundays with a passion. What's more, Sunday's in the UK back in those days were a different world. At one time almost everything was shut. With the exception of pubs and probably golf clubs. If you ran out of bread in 80's Britain, tough, you should have bought it Saturday!
This malaise ended in 1994 with the Sunday Trading Act 1994. There a still restrictions, but it's a nice compromise I think.
Then there was school the next day. Plus, 80's and early 90's UK had rubbish TV. Honestly, there wasn't a lot on for the young folk back in the day. Not to mention that Cable TV didn't exist here until the early 90's and Satellite TV was in its infancy. So most people had just four TV channels. Yes, that's right, four!
These days I think of Sunday as a just a much quieter Saturday. At the moment I work mostly from home, so even Monday's don't bother me too much.
How about you?
