are the shops going to be open?

[mike11111]

Why not? They are open every other Bank Holiday.

[jb190281]

just wondered, can never tell!

[mike11111]

They are open on Good Friday, and if they won't shut for Jesus they sure as hell ain't gonna shut for William and Kate.

[jb190281]

that's exactly it tho mike. hey, why don't we have an AB street party?!

[ttfn]

Can you not sleep, jb, or is it your little princess who has brought you on here? :o)

[jb190281]

SLEEP??? vague memory of that! she's not doing badly at night to be fair, just not tonight!!

[ttfn]

Bless you both jb (((HUG)))
Sleep is only a state of the body afterall ☺

[jb190281]

tis a state I'd rather be in! how are you?

[mike11111]

"Sleep is only a state of the body after all ☺"

I can't work out whether that remark is profoundly philosophical or just plain botox.

[ttfn]

Yer pays yer money and takes yer choice on that one, mike!
I have been whingeing all night, jb. No sleep for me - 24 hr BP monitor - and in 5 minutes time I shall be down to single figures of torture sessions left, lol

[jb190281]

not a good night for u then. is this the best place for bp?!

[ttfn]

Well, not sure really, but it does only need 1 hand !

> why don't we have an AB street party?

Or, alternatively, why? What would be celebrating? The marriage of two people that none of us knows...? Well, woop-de-do...

[jb190281]

well, I will bid you goodnight now as my princess is back in her cot and seems to have settled, fingers and toes crossed

[mike11111]

Like religion, Mark, it is a watered-down form of opium for the masses.

[ttfn]

Sweet dreams to both of you, jb, ttfn ♥
I agree with you, Mark, but I do have my grumpy reputation to protect. I think I will get my dinner now - been saving it for the middle of the night shift - so nighty night to you too ♥

[mike11111]

You do realise that if the wind changes your face is going to set like that for ever, so best give it a bit exercise with some grub!

[ttfn]

Night to you too, mike - muah ☺

Good Friday is normal opening for most stores. April 29th is going to be reduced opening for most stores.

I work for a charity shop and we're closed for the wedding. Good Friday and Easter Monday, open on the Saturday though, seems a bit silly, but thats retail for you.
