Superstitious Friday starts.

[nelly55]

Never start a job on a Friday even if it means starting it for 5 mins on a thursday.Does my superstition make me think can Starmer really do the job.Who else has this superstition on Fridays.

 

[Kidds]

I rarely know what day it is so I wouldn't be aware of starting on a Friday

 

[fov63]

I do also!!

Considering most elections take place on a Thursday so PMs will always start on a Friday and given recent history with PMs you may have a point

what is a new job. I thought farming was 24/7 365. anybody with livestock will have new work everyday. Arable farmers would start harvest as soon as fit. Just my opinion

 

[nelly55]

If I was mucking out yesterday,cutting grass next day is a new job.How many jobsI do in any 24 hours in anyone day well that’s another post,too many most days.

We normally start everything on a Sunday Be it drilling, combining, ploughing etc

My grandad wouldn't work on a sunday, outside feed cattle, livestock etc. Used to do my head in when harvesting.

I used to buy silage off a farmer and only had time to go for it on a Sunday, I always like to pay for each load as I got it but he wouldn’t take money on a Sunday so had to post him a cheque the next day

Probably better than starting on a Friday and having a break down

My father too
I have always been more in @Kidds camp, Friday, why didn't somebody tell me?

 

[cows sh#t me to tears]

Always know what day it is...Said date of the day is a completely different matter

 

[Derrick Hughes]

Why have you put that in my head,

I often just go and try a drill, mower, baler ect on a Thursday evening rather than start on a Friday. Mostly because if you find a machine fault on a Friday it's often Monday before you can get parts.

Should have come to Wales: take money off anyone any day here.

Doesn't seem long ago you couldn't get a drink on a Sunday.

It wasn’t that long ago. As a child in the 1960s there were plenty of instances when one county would be ‘dry’ and a neighbouring one ‘wet’. It was in 1961 that the ban was repealed, allowing individual counties to decide whether or not to allow pubs to open on Sundays.

I think the last bastion of Sunday temperance was Caernarfonshire in the late 1990s.

My old man would never start a new job on a Friday, or buy anything new. Would go late Thursday and plant a handful of spuds before starting properly on Friday!

I can remember being asked to play cricket in Cardigan on a sunday, not a chance I thought, until it was explained that members clubs were allowed to open and the cricket team drank in the rugby club.
