This is going off the tagging issue, but it is a bit scarry that you
are casually talking about curfews, where outside places like North
Korea do they exist?
A curfew to me, as a brit equals being arrested/shot for being on the
street after a certain time.
oh, sorry, this may be a translation problem - my fault.
I used curfew (resp. take it from Martins post and looked it up in an
online dictionary) in the meaning of legal "closing time" - the time,
where all pubs (in an area) have to be closing by law - if they do not
pay for a late concession/licence.
In German(y) this is called "Sperrstunde" - this term can be used in the
same civil/opening meaning for pubs - or in military as you stated above .
Actually I do not know, if or where this is still in usage for pubs here
- no need for that actually :) -, but I can remember, it was still in
usage for pubs in my lifetime.
I thought England (or maybe Great Britain) is still using this for pubs.
At least, as this seems to be a problem, that causes the Prime Minister
to intervene! ;-)
