Now, I don't mean to be a whinger, but this little series of irregular postings will focus on some of the little differences between living in the county (Larnook via Lismore) and living in a moderately sized city (Newcastle).
Today we are going to turn our attention to retail opening hours. Not so much your supermarket/IGA kinda places but shops that might sell furniture, office supplies, kitchens etc. Basically unless you can get there between 9 and 5 Monday to Friday, or in some cases, if you are lucky, Saturday morning, you are buggered. Which is fair enough I spose but it is bothersome when you want to buy a set of filing cabinets after work and you can't, even on a Thursday evening. Which means a separate trip into town on a Saturday morning and more greenhouse gase emissions.
Lismore becomes pretty much a ghost town from about 1.00pm on Saturdays until Monday morning.
However, this is not teh case at Bunnings, which seems to be the most dynamic and vibrant retail spot on a weekend...especially with your lesbian crowd...gotta love those DIY Dykes!
