Happy New Year everyone, just wondering if anyone knows if many shops are open today?

IMO most are. I think supermarkets tend not to be but in latter years more and more seem to buck the trend, but other department/fashion/homeware...etc tyoe stores tend to be open and have done so for quite a few years now (it used to be New Years Day I'd go sale shopping when I was a teenager back in the day!)
