I had a look a few days ago looks like we have left the 18th century. Seems taverns can now serve beer with a meal after midday. IIRC.

It has been an option for some time (that's how NZ do it too), but very few do just because of the cost of staff etc.

You don't seriously still think it its because cost of staff?

[The InnFORCEr]

Oh yes I do

[jargan83]

Taverns/Pubs would rake it in if they opened on Good Friday.

BBQ and carton will have to suffice!

On this serious note, where will those unable to make the journey East be able to watch? My local will be closed

[The InnFORCEr]

I think casino opens at noon?

Nope, they close at 3am and re-open at 10pm

[The InnFORCEr]

Bugger, all the more reason to be on tour I guess

In this case thank goodness for FOX Sports with sound turned off.. Unless Sharpie is commentating!!

[Happy]

Oh yes I do

It is Good Friday, along with Christmas Day one of the few remaining traditional days of holy observation shared around the "Christian" world as we know it. Never been my favourite day as it is generally boring unless you have Fox sport or you head away with family and friends otherwise good chance to get organised and catch up on jobs before rugby season really sets in. A good chance for those in the hospitality industry to have a deserved day off. We need to stand up for these days.

With penalty rates, business owners are paying complete dildo's $40 or $50 an hour to flip chips

Dead set

and superannuation......which is heading north to 12% thankyou very much. What the government doesn't realise is that because small businesses won't be able to employ anybody, nobody will be getting any superannuation because they will be all on the dole.

and payroll tax

and GST

and PAYG

and workers compensation

and holiday pay

and sick pay

and sicky pay

and cumulative sick pay..........watch out for that one business owners

and you can't sack anybody without a letter from the governor general with the royal seal from Queenie

That'll do me

And you can't ask them at the interview if they're pregnant, terminally ill, have so e weird religious affiliation which requires them to take every second day off with pay, thick as two short planks or lazy as a geriatric doorpost. When you give them a job and find they are one (or all) of the former, you can't sack them for it even if they're driving your business into the ground.
