Thank the lord for choosing Wednesday as my default day off at work, I already was very happy with that choice (2x2 aaaaand it's weekend) but now even more! If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Well my company agreed right away. They are pretty much forcing me to take vacation days, because with the ones for next year i will have over 50 paid days to take.

Bohemia 1,272 Posted October 28, 2020 #6985 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Why does the election have to be in the middle of the week though? (Or is it like that everywhere else except here? I have no idea ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon 1,789 Posted October 29, 2020 #6987 Share Posted October 29, 2020 On the same subject - the reason why UK elections are always held on Thursday. "Since 1918 a General Election has always been on a Thursday, except for 1918, 1922, 1924 and 1931. The reason for choosing Thursday, it is said, was as follows. On Fridays the voters were paid their wages and if they went for a drink in a pub they would be subject to pressure from the Conservative brewing interests, while on Sundays they would be subject to influence by Free Church ministers who were generally Liberal in persuasion. Therefore choose the day furthest from influence by either publicans or Free Church clergymen, namely Thursday. Bohemia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
