Remember good old bank holidays in the UK when everywhere closed, everyone got the day off, the roads were empty and everyone just enjoyed the liberty of a short week? This is what Hamilton is like today. This is our first easter here and what a nice surprise. Ran out of milk and bread this morning and had to dribe 10k to find a dairy that was open, all the closer ones and the big supermarkets were closed. The roads were completely empty at 10.00 a.m., no one around at all. All the shops are shut, the odd little dairy or superette that is open are not allowed to sell alcohol, banks are shut so no staff have drawn the short straw and been rota'd on against their will. Flippin' fab I reckon
except having to wait an extra 30 mins for my tea and toast
but that was my own fault for assuming it would be the same as the UK. Nothing is!!
