    I couldn't believe my eyes before, nipped into Somerfields for a few bits and on the door is said open new years eve 8am till 8pm and open new years day from 9-5:eek: , glad i dont work there

    I wouldn't worry too much about it, its likely to be double or triple pay! When I used to work in Marks and Spencers, people would sign up to work the bank holidays and new years eve/day etc as the pay was so much higher!

    Hi, does anyone know if Clarks is open today? Hoping it will be nice and quiet in town and I might get away with buying the kids shoes without the usual madness/rush!

    Nope it's normal rate, they increased holiday allowance about 3 years ago but you have to use up your holidays for all bank holidays including xmas day now.

    Does anyone know if poundstretcher opens on new years day? I couldn't see anything on their website and just remembered I need some of those space saving bags for house moving! :confused:

    Argos varies by store, if you use their website store locator they have individual hours for all stores, 2 out of my 3 local ones are open, one is 10 til 5, the other is 11 til 5.

    The McDonalds I work at is open every day except Christmas Day. On the 1st January I think we are open from 0900 until 2300. Normal Thursday hours would be 0630 until 2300.

    I think Toys R Us is open until 1700 and the local Tesco Extra is open until 1600.
