Lock down started 1 minute past midnight Thursday 5th November
so surely 4 weeks is till 1 minute past midnight thursday 2nd December.
all the news channels report it ending tonight, surely some mistake?

Just looked at that, but there is no way that 4 weeks on from Thurs, 5th. december ends on the Tuesday 1st December !

C'mon, this is the Conservative and Brexit Party we are seeing in action with Billy Bunter in charge and Gove, who needs experts, as right hand man. Do you believe anything they say and can they count - well upto 350million maybe, so an odd day here or there who cares.

No idea, it isn't something I have been paying attention to; but I do know that December 2nd hasn't been on a Thursday for a decade now, you're a year early. :) (y)
You know far better than the rest of us that 4 weeks ends 28 x 24 hour days later after a certain point in time, and that ends 1 minute past midnight of the December the 2nd

How does any of the above get away from the fact that you wrote THURSDAY 2nd of December? !!! Hence my comment about weekdays and calender. (y)

Thank you for that. Is it possible you could turn you excellent intellect to the great issue of the day - is a single Scotch Egg a substantial meal? Would welcome your opinion.
It would depend upon size.

To explain it all from scratch again.
Lock down started a minute past midnight Thursday November the fifth.
it was to last for 4 weeks or 28 days to those who cant do the maths :)
this means it should have finished on Thursday December the 3rd at 1 minute past midnight.
However it seems the minister responsible had run out of fingers and thumbs and decided it should be 1 minute past midnight December the second, not realising that is 27 days , Matt Hancock or Boris? Both seem innumerate ;)
