A funny story that's vaguely related - Here in Ireland, alcohol sales were prohibited on Good Friday until surprisingly recently. But there were some exceptions, and one of those was travelling.
I've heard stories of people buying a ticket to the next town so they could park themselves in the Station Bar for the afternoon. And the lockdown equivalent - a budget flight so you have similar free rein of the airport for the day.
edit: the quote “nobody likes them except the public and the public have flocked to them” rings awfully familiar around here.
- disgruntledphd2 4y agoThis is still the case. I was getting an early train at around 7.30 one Saturday, and there were a bunch of people drinking in the train station. The staff member told me they were regulars. For context, most pubs won't open till 10.30am or later.
