Couldn't agree more, Garinda ... daft.
Was only thinking on these lines meself this week .. library in Accrington, shorter hours on Saturday and the one in Clayton 10 - 12 .. others in the Borough similar.
Lots of other services similar... e.g. Post Office. Even my local butcher closes at lunch on Saturday. Ok .. doesn't matter to me now I am semi-retired, however, did when I was full time .. closed before I got home from work and Saturday mornings too busy deaing with kids, etc. (or on very rare occasions a hangover)
