An email sent to your friendly neighbourhood Kouros (speeling mastikes not mine)...
Dear XYZ Publishing,
Recently I received one of your calanders (Britain 07) as a gift. Thought you may be interested to be informed that the first day of the week is SUNDAY. Perhaps you can amend this state of ignorance as it has rendered this calander useless.
There are various reasons why most calendars start on Monday and not Sunday... but we all of course work to our own internal week structure. My week starts on a Monday, because that's when I wake up and have to start being a grown up again.
Christians, Jews and Muslims often see Sunday as the start of the week, Saturday being the sabbath. Oddly, apparently Iranians see the start of the week as Saturday, their weekend consisting of Friday.
When does your week start?

Hi Debojit, I read your blog. Sorry, but it was rubbish.
Rich: You are just weird.
Stu: That's one of the reasons why most calendars put Saturday and Sunday together. The other reasons are that it follows ISO 8601 and it annoys people who think the week starts on Sunday.
Ah, but the two day weekend is something of a 20th century invention. The day of rest was just Saturday.
But the week starts on Monday now because we live in a more civilised age.
LOL, love it.
my week starts on a Monday too, you can't have a new week starting halfway through a weekend, that's just not right :]
My week never seems to end!
DoGGa: Absolutely not! That would be absurd.
Rob: Ouch! Though in a weird way, I guess that's true for many, if not most.
