Very informative. I remember back in the days of black and white TV the epilogue came on about 11pm and then everything went off until the next day. Now it goes on all night and with dozens of stations. We now have many shops open for twenty four hours a day and they only close on Sundays because they are forced to do so. I’m not religious but it’s time we closed down on Sundays.
