I have based this calculation around the ISO-8601 standards which dictate that the week begins on a Monday and ends on a Saturday. The PHP date argument 'W' deals specifically with this date standard. To be honest, I must state that I have no experience dealing with any other calendar systems as the ISO system matches what we use here in Ireland.

Does the week start on monday or sunday... in a gregorian calendar another calculation. Don;t use weekdays myself that much but I came across www.clndr.org and think it's nice for a quick reference.

To be honest I don't think the market exists yet, but the point I am trying to make with the post is trying to address that too. Without the facilities can the market exist? And without the market is there a need for the facilities? My apologies Stephen, I had of course forgot about the sale of that part of the company.
