Nope, you are normal, not every normal person has to work the standard office hours of 9am-5pm!

I guess they are trying to reach out to a different audience and not 9am-5pm workers! :rolleyes: :giggle:

"Normally" would only apply to office workers (who aren't the only people who work), it wouldn't apply to those in retail, transport, construction, providing public services etc...

Saying that though, some of these "normally" office workers seem to be able to walk in and out of the office as and when they please so can make any events at anytime! (Like my manager's assistant :shifty:) :rolleyes:

Something else: Does anyone know how to get 2-for-1 tickets on musicals? Usually when I go I get the cheapest tickets that are further back and/or restricted view, however I want to treat my mother to We Will Rock You and Rock of Ages next month and want to give her the best experience possible. But I won't be able to shell out between £60-£100 for a single ticket on either of those...
In today metro they have half price offer on we will rock you. They say to phone 08448471775 and quote metro offer. Available until24 th November. Excluding half term in October 24-29.
