I remember visiting London and being surprised that pubs would close at 11pm and night life, outside of clubs, would pretty much die. In the largest city in Europe! Mad stuff.
When I moved back to Italy I had forgotten that shops close between 13 and 15:30. Every country has their own little quirks
- maccard 3mo agoYep! I used to live in Ireland and pubs being closed on Good Friday was like the end of the world.
- rsynnott 3mo agoNot just pubs; it was also off-licenses. The Thursday before at my local supermarket was always like the apocalypse, with people panic-buying booze. There were some weird exceptions to the rule, too; in particular you could buy alcohol on trains.
- disgruntledphd2 3mo agoAnd in train stations and airports! I kinda miss the old Good Friday laws, it made it a great day for parties as all the pubs were closed.
