[Talk-GB] Complicated opening hours

[Jack Page]

You may be right that using week numbers is a better way of encoding this
information.

This is an inherent issue with using the SH qualifier in opening hours: the
school holidays can differ even in the same LA sometimes with private
schools and academies which means unless I hardcode in the week numbers as
you suggest it will be practically impossible to expect a parser to deal
with this.

I was not sure if it was OK to write We,Sa,Su,PH or whether these needed to
be separated into two separate statements We,Sa,Su and PH.

Regards
Jack
