"First thing Monday morning Bob"

Just a little something to start Monday off with.

I was sitting at the robots while on my way to the traffic department on Friday when a most hideous car pulled up next to me. It was a Renault Traffic. It was honestly one of the bigger cars I have seen, hence the name “traffic” because it takes up a couple of lanes. It was quite an ugly car too. I looked at the number plate and saw that is was from Gauteng-a-leng. The other obvious clue as to where it was from was the sign on the right hand side passenger window saying “Warning: Enter this car at your own risk” Only in Gauteng.

Then on 2oceansvibe a few weeks ago there was an article entitled “The Cape Town Friday Rule” Basically it explained that no one in Cape Town ever works on a Friday. This piece just further reiterates the point made there. While I was at the traffic department this past Friday I heard a guy talking to someone on his phone. Now it was only 10am, but obviously eager to get to the pub he kept saying “Yeah can’t you guys just build and plaster around it, I promise we will do it on Monday. First thing Monday morning” I was standing there laughing to myself because it’s so typical of Cape Town people to say “Yeah, first thing Monday morning” This actually means late Wednesday afternoon, week after next. But somehow this guy got away with it anyway. What a hero! Hope you had a good Friday piss up dude.
