Monday is the first day of the week. NOT Sunday!
It's called the weekEND for a reason. I like to see my working week and weekend as distinct chunks. Not split in half.
And don't being doing that silly wraparound thing where you put the last few days at the top because you ran out of space at the bottom.
How hard can it be? The one I got given as a present is going straight in the recycling.

I absolutely agree that Monday is the first day of the week but this matter is not as clear cut as one might think.
As usual, religion is involved
Why is Sunday the first day of the week in UK?
Which Day is the Beginning of the Week? | THE SEIKO MUSEUM GINZA
The Gregorian calendar, currently used in most countries, is derived from the Hebrew calendar, where Sunday is considered the beginning of the week. Although in Judaism the Sabbath is on Saturday, while in Christianity it is on Sunday, Sunday is considered the beginning of the week in both religious traditions.

I’m a bit rusty on all this nonsense but didn’t the imaginary sky fairy rest on the 7th day after creating the world, thinks giving us Sunday? 
Since we're ranting about calendars! 
Every year a magazine I buy semi regularly has a calendar attached around Christmas time. Its only a cheap a3 folded thing with a picture. But the boxes for the days are a good size so you can write notes in.
This year for the first time since 2009! No calendar!
Ok, thinks I, what else could I get. Top gear magazine has one. But the boxes are too small. A trip to the calendar area of WHSmith and those pop up calendar club stands in shopping centres, also nets nothing useable. Even the non picture ones have the numbers for the dates dead central in the box!
Either way too big, full of un-interesting pics or have boxes that are useless!
eBay to the rescue with one with good size boxes and various landscape photos, but even then it was a choice of about 3!
Calendars these days clearly aren't designed to be calendars! But just posters! Nonsense!

I quite agree. Having been given a calendar for Christmas, it saves me having to go and get one but unfortunately it starts on a Sunday.

Thank you. I live in England so I rest my case.A law should be passed with appropriate punishment for those selling incorrect calendars.
