  Yes! If enough of us insist that it’s Friday, it WILL be Friday!

    Maybe we should all take tomorrow off.

    I think I’m unwell enough to do that.

    I don’t believe we’ve ever skipped a day Sunday to Monday, but October 1582 really went by quick:

      Was that the adjustment to align the julian and gregorian calendars??? Cos it happened a lot later in the UK than everywhere else - like 200 years or so and was finally done in April I vaguely recollect from history lessons.

        Yes. I didn’t realise the English persisted with Julian after 1582, though.
        I just looked it up: England skipped 11 days in September 1752.
