A/the working week
If I say:
"This is not permitted during a working week."
"This is not permitted during the working week."
Can the articles be used almost interchangeably or would it be assumed that 'the working week' refers to a specific week (maybe one just mentioned) as opposed to the general concept of the working week? Does that question make sense? In other words, would 'the working week' be thought that I am referring to only one week, so "this is not permitted during one certain working week, but it's fine during all other working weeks"?
"This is not permitted during a working week."
"This is not permitted during the working week."
