From memory, they used to have later opening times towards the end of the week.

Is it the Sunday thing that bugs you?
If Northern Ireland is anything like England, their hands are probably tied by some law or other.
Come to Scotland, where shops are open all day Sunday anyway - except for a remaining anomaly about alcohol sales (not before 1230 on a Sunday).

I know, I know! Could be one of two things: firstly, the internationally accepted standard for the separator between hours and minutes is the colon, not a full stop; or, secondly (and I think it might be this one because of the title 'Redundancy'), is it that you are pondering why B&Q felt the need to group Monday-Wednesday together, then give the rest of the weekdays separately even though the only day with different opening hours is Sunday?
Or is that just overly pedantic of me?
On the same page, I noticed this particular favourite of mine:
'Please enter the postcode you would like directions to the store from.'
NO, NO, NO. No.
And relax.
With love to your wife and child!

Andrew's wrong, Laura's right. Except about ending a sentence with a preposition, which is perfectly OK (and against which there has never a rule of English grammar).

Really? I didn't know that there wasn't actually a rule. Oh well. I still don't like it !

"... and against which there has never a rule of English grammar."
I can't resist, but you've omitted a past participle.
I only do that when people talk about grammar. Sorry.

That wasn't a grammatical error; it was just a fuck-up.

"That wasn't a grammatical error; it was just a fuck-up."
I'm going to attempt to quote that as much as possible in my daily life from now on. It just feels right. :-)

If you're really that interested, here's an RSS feed for the latest comments to this blog. Never miss another pointless argument.
Of course comments are moderated, in a common-sense sort of a way. You don't have to give your email address to post here.
If you know your HTML, you can use <a>, <b>, and <i> tags, and entities, too. If you don't, you can still use them, but with a greater sense of trepidation.
Cheers.
