3: tijdsindeling is een dingetje. De middag is om 1200, de namiddag begint rond 1400 de avond rond 1800. Je kan geen halve dag middag hebben en verwachten dat men op tijd komt.

Be our Valentine!
Here is the oldest Valentine's letter in the English language.
It was sent by Margery Brews to her 'right well-beloved valentine', John Paston, in 1477.
Reader, he married her ❤️❤️❤️
