Under the Sunday Trading Act 1994 the limits on shop opening

 Small shops (under 280 sq m/3,000 sq ft) - no restrictions on
opening

 Large shops (over 280 sq m/3,000 sq ft)

Monday to Saturday - no restrictions
Sunday - Opening for 6 continual hours only, between 10am and
6pm Easter Sunday - closed


Easter Sunday = closed is more like what I remember. 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.


Because many of those "silly people" would have to work on a day that
is religously important to them. WTF is the problem with many
shoppers? Why can't they cope if the shops are going to be shut for
twenty four hours?




It's not important to me, so why should I lose out, why shouldn't I be
allowed to work that day?
