Loads of people do buy into advertising, sadly... They wouldn't still be spending so much on it if it wasn't profitable.

Only in Christian backwaters like England; in Scotland, 24h is 24h.

SO many times when I lived Darn Sarf (way down in... Lancashire ) I got caught out on Sundays like "I'll just pop to the shop" at 6pm and then remembering that everything shuts at 4 or 5 on a Sunday .

Meanwhile in Scotland, I'll be going shopping tonight when I finish work at half 10 .

If you can't get organised in the 6.5 days they are open we like to give the staff time with their families down South

I'm sure ours closes at 4 on a sunday. Lazy bastards wanting an extra hour off

My mate works in tesco and apparently shes having to work xmas day. Shops not open, but they still want staff in. horrible *****. No need for anyone who works in a shop to do xmas really. Maybe with the exception of a couple of petrol stations and corner shops where the OWNERS do the shifts as they want the cash

I think shops can be open 10 to 4, or 11 to 5, so they may open an hour earlier

no one should have to work Christmas Day, its bad enough that they start the online sales now on Christmas Day, in Ireland the shops close for 2 days Christmas and Stephens Day (Boxing) and that is how it should be, the staff need a break after the rush and before the sales start
