Very true. I  seem to remember you weren't even supposed to hang your washing out on Good Friday.

I'm surprised everything is open today too!

The kids play area was hoaching when I took the little one to meet her friends this morning.

And last year hubby couldn't work over Easter but this year people are begging him to! I suspect it may be due to the fact everyones fences fell down in that terrible wind

Good Friday was treated as the most holy of days.
Nothing was open, the towns and cities were desolate.
No money exchanged. Few smiles. No buses.
Radio and television reflected the Easter theme throughout the day.

Yes, they did.  Even clothing was more sombre. Hi Brisket

Hi Baz  
I used to dress down. I'm more flamboyant these days. 

There are some open here, which I'm shocked by, though no alcohol can be sold....

I was shocked there weren't more films on telly with an Easter film but Ch4 came up trumps with The Robe - it's not Easter without a good Roman slasher film

I watched that, tis a classic....

I like that film

can you hear them

Our village Post Office is shut

I don't think there was any post today.... *at least I never got any*

My daughter phoned me and said she was going into town I said all the shops will be closed today but apparently not..

I went to my local Sainsburys this evening and it was deserted.   4 checkouts open and all of them vacant.

I suspect the shops will be manic tomorrow due to the Sunday closing.  People will be shopping as if their lives depended on it.

I got post! Even a package today

And I live in a random wee place

Shops were all open today and we got mail.

Awwww Yogi and  Angel you got post....... guess no one loves me then

I didn't get post Baz - I didn't think we did on Bank Holidays!!
Went to Sainsbury's at 3ish - was like Christmas!! mental!

I couldn't move in my local Sainsbury's earlier all 12 checkouts and all the self service counters were open - no sign of the credit crunchie there

I remember being really bored on good Friday as I wasn't allowed to play out or do anything + we wasn't allowed to eat meat  - I still stick to that today -I am a veggie but OH and son are not +there was far more religiony things on TV - just seems like any old holiday now

Sound of Music was on- love it Saw this: Limerick pubs open on Good Friday

I've never eaten meat on Good Friday, nor does my husband and he's a Heathen, the soppy sod.

Im still recovering from today, nearly had a heart attack after the Wigan v Saints game today. Effing tense game.


Thank f*** we pulled through

I lubs ya' Baz.

I do.  

I wouldn't worry , it was for my daughter

No one loves me either
