This time of year is celebrated by loads of different religions dating back
thousands of years and has fuck all to do with Jesus. It's primitive
bollocks believed by savages. No different to worshipping the wind for fucks

Our local Indian cash & carry is open (as you might expect, religious
issues or not)
Today I have just bought: puppadoms plain and spicy, fresh coriander,
spicy peanuts and Bombay mix, creamed cocnut, some rather lethal looking
pickles, chapattis, chillis, cucumber and yogurt.
Yesterday's left-over roast lamb is tonight's curry. Yum.

That was the tenet of my counter argument, but I was saved by the Swedes

As opposed to being strung up by the swedes, which is what would have
happened otherwise.
OTOH it's a pretty gloomy day out there, so I wouldn't have minded that
much. As it is I'm inside, watching Genesis Of The Darleks (to remind
myself just how good Tom Baker was) and preparing onion bhagees and
jerked chicken. The latter will have to be pan fried, though, coz I'm

Indeed. I actually went there earlier to buy a cycle carrier for the roof
bars, and ended up buying a new geuine Yuasa battery for the GSXR for only
£45 [1], which seems a bargain for a geuine one. Pattern ones for the gsxr
tend to go for about £35. To be honest, I was suprised that Halfords carried
this type if thing.

Heh. before my parents moved to Rye, in 1997, they lived in a village
called Wittersham, nearly opposite the church.
The house had a granny flat that they rented out to tourists in summer.
Friday evening was bell-ringers'[1] practice evening.
After five minutes of ding-ding-ding-dong-*DANG*! the then tenant, a
Dutchman, came hammering on their door, demanding to know what they
racket was all about.
"Oh, the bell-ringers practice every Friday," explains Pa, slightly
surprised.
Half an hour later, the Dutchman is knocking on the door again.
"They haff been proctissing now for forty minutes," (pause) "and they
are no better!"

I find it all a bit strange. When I were a lad in Oz there were two
days of the year when _everything_ was guaranteed to be closed down: Good
Friday and Christmas (of course in those days most places were closed
Sundays too and the only way you could get a drink in a pub then was with
a meal as a bona fide traveller more than twenty miles from home). Canada
must have been something like that but I only spent four Easters there;
Switzerland of course closed down GF, and the rest of the weekend.

What about all that carefully tailored co-ordinated production and

Yup - that was us as well. Tuxford bell ringers were renown for it.
The local groups go on bell ringing tours. Tuxford lot always nabbed the
back seats on the coach and brought several crates of ale. The
performances actually improved about half way through the tours.... then
went down-hill from there, really ;^)

After the lovely weather of the last week or so, today was the day I
chose to do 200 miles on a motorbike. Got bloody cold. Still, I've
now got another set of tyre warmers, and supplied a set of brake seals
to Lozzo, so can't complain, especially since the bike still feels
like a rocketship, even with 25k miles up.

ITYF they dont. They are only allowed to be open[1] for 6 hours on a
Sunday, so how can they be open 24/7?
[1]Stores under a certain floor space size can open whenever they want,
but the average supermarket is way above the limit, so can only open for 6
hours.
The Easter Sunday rule was brought in when the original Sunday trading
laws were passed in the mid-80s - it was a sop to the God-squad who were
lobbying against Sunday opening.

I went to the local Tescos to use the cashpoint earlier. Have to say it was
very amusing to see the *constant* stream of cars entering, driving past the
entrance, 180 degree turn and back out again.
Not to say I don't agree with you though. As I was saying to the missus
earlier, I strongly suspect that the number of people that would like to
earn double-time far outweighs those that want to go to church...

It's because the Sunday Trading Act specifically prohibits stores above a
certain size floor space from opening on Easter. Hence your corner shop and
local Co-Op might be open, but most big stores can't.
Somewhat sensibly (and after a considerable amount of pressure), DIY stores
are one of the few categories that are exempt. Possibly something to do with
Easter being the busiest DIY period of the year. Must be all them crosses
the God-Botherers are making.

I got Postie delivering a package on Good Friday too. I could have sworn
they didn't work that day.
I would have been more grateful, but for the fact that the fucking thing
took two weeks to get from Swindon to Bristol. I could have walked it there
and back myself.

The big Teco sign outside our local Tesco used to say 24/7. I wonder if it
still does. As SA says. I don't read the advertising.

You're obviously both yummy people, although herself only likes one of
you.

Blimey - you'll have the record if you keep that up - no plans to swap for a
newer model?
Saw the 2005 (with big exhaust) yesterday at Avebury - they actually look
very nice 'in the flesh' - though the exhaust is still huge.

So why pick today to bring that up? They're not open 24 hours on any
Sunday IIRC.

So how come, in parts of merkinland, home of the bible-bashers, some stores
only ever close for a few hours on new years eve?

It's fairly similar here in Ontario but there are some bizarre rules
about holday opening in general.
It seems that only seasonal goods can be sold which led to the
situation that I could buy a lawnmower but it was illegal to buy the
extension cable I needed to plug it in.

Oh, that old chestnut. You'll be claiming that it's all made up as
they go along, next.
Look, it's perfectly simple: JC crucified Friday, right? The day after
the Sabbath (i.e. Sunday) the tomb is empty. This is evidence of JC
rising from the dead, the third day after his crucifiction. Except,
of course, that it should be on a Monday. but the Church doesn't *do*
Mondays, much like French Motorcycle shops, so it's Sunday instead.
We do get Easter Monday, in compensation.
It was a Sunday. Probably. Between March 20th, and April 23rd. It was
ages ago, how accurate do you expect it to be?
Allegedly:
On the day of the suffering of Christ (which is believed by many to
have occurred on a Friday evening in April) there was a coincidence:
at that time the constellation of Southern Cross was entirely visible
low in the South from Jerusalem. Due to precession this is no longer
the case. The most probable date is 3 April 33 AD
(http://www.johnpratt.com/items/docs/newton.html), on which date also
took place a partial lunar eclipse
(http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/LEcat/LE0001-0100.html).
