Author Topic: What day does the week start?  (Read 1853 times)

The obvious answer is Monday, when you go back to work / school / college / whatever.

So why the fuck do some calenders (such as the one on my desk) insist on claiming that sunday is the start of the week?

I DEMAND ANSWERS :evil:

I don't know, if Sunday is the day God decided to take a rest, after Monday through Saturday then surely Sunday is the last day of the week?

Wednesday is the start of the week in my world.  I love midweeks!!  My weekends Monday and Tuesday are shit though cos I have to work them every week.

Sunday. But I really hate Sunday evenings. Just the thought of having to go back to work in the morning, pisses me off!  :x

The weekend is actually Friday and Saturday but our modern world classes Sunday as part of the weekend as well. Why did/do some calendars have more/less than 7 days per week etc?

I agree that Monday is the more practical start to week though
