    So I was in pub which advertised all day Sunday cocktails for €5. So I waited for 12:00 on the 8/7 and was told it wasn't Sunday. That the all day Sunday cocktail where only available from Opening on Sunday at 8. So was I being pedantic or Sunday is Sunday ?


    Can a mod correct the typo in the poll please . Thanks

    Does Sunday start at 12:00 am or at the next opening 19 votes

    An 'All Day Breakfast' is rarely served all day.

    Just one of those things in life that you gotta accept.

    Bar day starts when they open. The overrun from the night before doesn't count I'm afraid.

    I didn't ask. But if they want to offer their Sunday drink offer on a non Sunday that is up to them

    The next day kinda starts at 6am imo.

    You know when people say 'it's Sunday actually' at 12:05am, with a smug smirk, I feel like punching them in the throat.

    Whatevr. They didn't want to serve the OP. Bars don't usually turn away business, so what should that tell us?

    Sunday was Atari Jaguar, and I am disappoint that you didn't include it in the poll.

    They where more than happy to serve me. In fact they where very happy to give me a cocktail at €8 each just not at the "Sunday" rate

    Legally they should have served you at the discount advertised, the bar cannot decide when a day starts.

    OP, imagine a world where every single public notice is written in verbose legal jargon, is that what you want??

    For example, when people say the pubs don't open until 12:00 on a Sunday do you jump in and correct them?

    The bar doesn't decide, the law does. Saturday in the pub ends at last orders, 12.30am on what is technically a Sunday. Sunday starts at 12pm the next day when the pub is allowed to trade again.

    Did you just hang in the corner until it was midnight? Pair of horn rimmed shades and a pocket full of change? Calander tearing a hole in your pocket, common sense akimbo?

    Thats interesting, its also in Irish law that no party can decide the length of a day, week, month ect and its supposed to be taken as is.

    I know exactly how you feel OP. When I was younger I used to insist on waiting till it was dark to do my homework because my teacher had said "For homework tonight I want you to..."

    But then, I was five at the time.
