Are you sure it is Thursday?

Well, yesterday was a tad strange in that is seems a number of publications that normally happen on a Wednesday did not happen or were later than usual.

But now I am wondering about Thursday - it seems that it is two days, so maybe that is where Wednesday went.

My train ticket clearly states :-
Start date 27-OCT-11
Valid until 27-OCT-11
Validity TWO DAYS

How the hell do they fit two days in 27th to 27th of October?

    From the ticket terms and conditions:

    "Break of journey for an overnight stay is allowed. Where a journey continues into the next day, travel must resume before 1200 and no further break of journey is allowed except to change trains."
