    So it would seem, lol, I'm still not used to shops being open any later than 4pm on Sundays and I've been living up here for over 2 years now!

    I saw this thread and panicked cos I'd got no milk, went up our co-op to discover they're open 8-8 tomorrow :confused: .

    I didn't think anywhere opened Easter Sunday in England :confused:

    I legged it down to Sainsbury's expecting to get a trolleyful of bargains...but there was literally NOTHING to be had!!! OK, the fish counter was half price or less, but I am not a fish person in any shape or form. I'm really disappointed as this store is definitely closed tomorrow. Maybe when it opens again on Monday they will have cut the price of their easter eggs, and maybe even their daffs will be reduced. Ah well!!

    Spendless it seems to be just the big shops that shut, ie supermarkets, Ikea, B&Q etc, plus the High Street shops. Smaller shops that are normally open for Sunday papers, and corner shops seem to open up anyway.
