Surely the company would be angry at this as well, this is 26 minutes of lost trade, in the run up to Christmas. I've no idea what they sell but I'm assuming that if there are numerous branches, people go there.
Also, aren't shops only allowed a certain number of trading hours on a Sunday? Therefore they can't exactly close 26 minutes later, as people would have expected them to have already shut and wont go?
Management would not be happy with lost trade and this is one of the busy shopping weekends of the year. Lots of people went past in this time too. Almost every over shop opened before 1030 for browsing as due to Sunday Trading Laws (something to do with the church) shops are allowed to be open for a maximum of 6 hours. BANK is a clothing shop with stores in most places.
Another annoyance came on the way home, we parked in the Captain Cook Square car park and then turned right at the mini roundabout to head where the traffic lights are (the ones which many of Arriva's services go through to reach Middlesbrough Bus Station) anyway we go through to join the queue when someone old people in a Volvo come from our right and nearly went into the side of us. Then when the lights went green tried to pull in front of us and we weren't having it and when we got to the next set of lights (the one where buses go to head towards the A66) we went through on amber and the old prick came through the lights too (must have been red when he came through) and then when we got on the A66 he came alongside us and gave us the finger, so you have gone through a red light and sped just to give us the finger, you sir are are grey haired old ****.
So not such a good day for me then, the car incident has left me shaken and when I get like this it gives me a headache and makes me feel unwell.
