Craig Edwards Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Something i never really got about the TEW games is that a new week always starts on a Monday but in Real Life a new week starts on Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHUK Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I prefer how it is now. Saturday and Sunday are the "Weekend", AKA, the end of the week. Monday is the start of the working week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantaloons Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 That may be how it is done in England, I think it is how they do it in Mexico too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensai of Mattitude Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Hmm, I've always thought that the new week begins on the Monday, yet others believe otherwise. I guess it's one of those things that doesn't really have a right or wrong answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I think that either is acceptable. Monday is considered the start of the week by most people I know, and all my diaries start a new page on Monday, so that was why I went with it.

Derek B Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 As does mine :) Seriously though, since every week is pretty much the same cycle anyways, you could easily make a very convincing argument for the fact that any day is the start of a new week. Afterall, its not like there's an obviously marker saying so. And correct me if I'm wrong (I often am) but if Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest, and God rested on the 7th day (according to some book) shouldn't that mean that Sunday is the last day of the week? Yet some religion (dunno which one) who follows some book seems to think Sunday is the start.... I shall be quiet now.... my multitude of arguments for Monday being the first day are only for annoying people. Personally, I like saying Wednesday is the start of the weekend. Means I've only got two days til I get time off from work before my next 3 day working week. :) Derek B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
