Please help settle this argument.

[Spieluhr]

If a sign on a road says that it'll be undergoing repairs for three days commencing from 5am on the 26th of November when will the work end? On the 28th or 29th?

At the end of the 28th.

At end of 28th as that’s 3 days including 26th

28th

The 28th.

End of 28th.

Probably 30th knowing how crap the Highways/private contractors are.

Sometime next month because they'll overrun

I would say 29th at 5am if we are being precise.

End of the 28th.

But around here it'll probably be the 27th or early on the 28th if recent works are anything to go by, I think they slightly overestimate timescales so they don't get a fine for going over how long they say it will take, then if there are problems they have a few hours to sort it out.

End of 28th.

Who dares to challenge this???!!!

some time in January :) if they start that is!

Thank you all. I'm relieved to see that the majority appear to confirm my view that work will end on the 28th(Assuming that they are a textbook team of contractors). My friend was arguing that the work cannot possibly be completed before 5am on the 29th.

Phone the council and ask?
But they do sometimes work throughout the night don't they?
