I never go shopping on a Sunday in the UK, not that I'm religious but because I've always been in the habit of planning a family day. Its just an 'us' sort of day I suppose and anyway, by 4pm I'm starting to prepare a family roast and a jam roly poly with custard.  |
When I lived in France for 3 months (with my then-fiancée, in her University halls on her year abroad) the town was totally shut down all weekend to the extent that if you didn't have food in, you were basically screwed. No church bells though... instead... every two weeks, they would test the air raid sirens! I liked to pretend it was the apocalypse
