I think it's something along the lines of shops over three thousand
square metres can only open for a maximum of six hours. The big ASDA
near here is open from 10-6 on a Sunday.
Not sure about M&S, maybe they took the decision themselves?
As I recall, it's a hell of a lot less than 3000m^2 'cos that would be a
bloody big shop. (Bear in mind, your average Safeway / Morrisons store
is only 30,000 square *feet*).
checks
It's 3000 square feet, not metres!
I did wonder where there is a shop that was 3 Kilometres wide and long!!
