I can see that. What you're saying is that Samoa could only effectively trade with Australia four days a week.

No, three days.

The Friday of Samoa is Saturday in Oz.
The Sunday of Samoa is Monday in Oz.
So that cuts it down to only three days aligned.

I think

I once went round the world and lost a Tuesday somewhere between LA and Auckland.
I thought I'd get it back somewhere but I never did.
I guess now that I must have had enough extra hours in various days in different places to add up to a day.

Did it the other way a couple of times, Japan to San Francisco and Aussie to Pearl Harbour.

Did you gain a day at all ?

If so we can put El Barbudo's mind at ease about where his Tuesday went.

By the sound of it, having done the opposite direction twice, he's not only got my Tuesday, but La Senora's as well, she was with me at the time.

Can I get redress through the small claims court d'you reckon?

Are we talking Wales and Scotland with us?
Then there's the Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Lundy, Orkney, Shetland etc etc to consider.

You haven't thought this through have you?

I'm trying to keep costs down, we're in a recession you know.

Anywhere that isn't attached to the British mainland is just going to have to stay where it is I'm afraid.
