Here in Scotland there are loads open, all the supermarkets for sure. Must have different rules.

Correct. The law in England and Wales is up for review.

It was a bit of a shock in my first year living in England to find shops shut on Easter Sunday.

Just found out that Halfords is open today, yes, Easter Sunday, from 10-5!

I feel sorry for the staff. A couple of years ago I worked for a Tyrant (or tight !!!!!!) who forced me go to work at his clothes shops on Easter Sunday.
No other shops nearby were open so I called him midway through the shift and asked if we can go home as we had taken just £5 in sales.
He said no as he was paying us to be there (minimum wage - wow!)
By the end of day we had taken £12 and I had missed out on a day with my kids.

This is a bit suprising considering everyone else in closed!

Hope this helps,

They sell car parts and oil.
So will be able to stay open, as they will be classed as a "Garage"

I can't believe the terror that seems to overcome some people these days when the prospect of a whole day without a visit to the new god Tesco is mentioned!

The new God is shopping.

24 hours a day when you like.

Have you ever been in a 24 hour shop in the middle of the night. From midnight until about 5am you would be lucky to get 10 customers.

I should know as I use to stack shelves in a 24 supermarket.

Shops shutting once or a twice a year is hardly a hardship.

You wait to christmas the samething will happen all over again. Buying more food than you can shake a stick at. With half of it is never eaten and thrown a way.
