Must be? http://tinyurl.com/f9zb7 M&S is normally open on a Sunday but will be closed on Easter day. http://tinyurl.com/z9yyv Andy -- Posted to UK groups (4 max) which probably use Sunday trading sorry but is it just me that thinks this sort of thing is well outdated ... dont quote me on this but im pretty sure that if i go up the town tomorrow then tesco, adsa, morrisons currys, comet, homebase will all be open, and if they weren't i'd be well ****ed |

I did wonder where there is a shop that was 3 Kilometres wide and long!! On a more modest scale, there's a UK library that's 184 metres long! -- The information contained in this post is copyright the poster, and specifically may not be published in, or used by Avenue Supplies, http://avenuesupplies.co.uk |

Why doesn't this protection extend to Scotland? The protection was originally introduced by the Sunday Trading Act 1994, which does not extend to Scotland. The Sunday Working (Scotland) Act 2003 provides protection for shop and betting workers in Scotland. stupid bloody rules |

Maybe stores are taking their chances more and more these days by opening at times when they really should not be. Guess it's going to be a mad rush in the stores on Monday then. |

I think it's stupid they have to close on Easter Sunday, it's only a Sunday like any other, nothing special about it, why shouldn't I be able to shop just because a few silly people think it's a special day. -- Items for sale: www.dodgy-dealer.co.uk 3p/min & 1p Texts, EasyMobile, For £5 airtime bonus contact via: www.southeastbirmingham.co.uk |

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. That's 8 hours... 10-4 ? |
