Arsenal midfielder Frida Maanum collapsed on the pitch during the League Cup final between Arsenal and Chelsea.

The Norway international appeared to get onto her knees off the ball in Arsenal's half and tumble over in the third minute of injury time at Molineux Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Is Easter just a weekend thing over there?
Sheesh, the whole country basically shuts down for 8 days up here.

Monday through Wednesday are ordinary days. On Thursday and Friday all stores are closed except gas stations, deli's or immigrant stores (all workers gets payed double)
On saturday it is almost normal up until 4 in the afternoon
Yesterday and today is like Thursday and Friday(double pay)

Good Friday is a Bank Holiday in the whole UK. Easter Monday is a Bank Holiday except in Scotland. Bank Holidays are observed less as time goes on but still a lot of people are either off work or work shorter hours.

The Saturday and Sunday don't have the special status of Bank Holiday, and again Sunday is observed less as a Day of Rest as time goes on, but still a lot of workplaces either shut or have shorter hours. So it's a four day weekend but not 100%, for everyone. There are various entertainments layed on. It's been very busy in Whitby and we still have one day left. Someone fell off the bridge lol.

You only mentioned Thursday to Monday, which is five days, not eight. I used to work at a supermarket and got paid triple for working on New Year's Day but that was a while ago - you probably (?) wouldn't get that now.

Almost everyone gets the whole week off. Schools, government employees and most businesses.

A weird thing norwegians do during easter is to flock up to the mountains (either they own cabins or uses ski resorts (or both). Pretty much a 10 day vacation. Traffic is always a nightmare on the busiest highways. I'm glad my family didn't do such nonsense.

Easter is like a cultural phenomenon here. Skiing with family and friends during the day. Watching easter crime (own genre, mostly british stuff) or partying in the evening.

Glad it's almost over

They increasingly are shut 24/365 and the building is converted into something else. But the ones that are still open are almost always if not always shut on Sunday, and sometimes on Saturday. Some of them only open three days a week now. Metro Bank used to be open on Saturday and Sunday but not any more.

Seven - eight - ten days seems completely excessive and decadent. 🫤 There's a genre of Norwegian crime/horror where people go and stay in a mountain cabin and come under attack as well. Can you ski? Did you do skihopping?

I went to the big shops on the edge of town on Saturday. I got the bus cause I knew the traffic would be crushing. And I would lose my parking place and the nearest I would find when I returned would probably be about three miles away. I also got the little local bus and not the big town to town one. The little one is allowed to go over the Swing Bridge, which is otherwise closed to traffic (at such times), and the big one was rammed with tourists with large queues, they probably had to leave people standing.

The little bus was still 45 minutes late setting off (I actually got the one due an hour earlier), and 90 minutes late setting off back. I had a book to read so I was prepared. This used to be a fishing town but it's most of the way to just being a theme park now.

Edit: By the way I had a quick look and supermarket workers were saying that their Bank Holiday pay ranges from normal to 225%. Increasingly no doubt contracts just ignore Bank Holidays.
