Looks like George is going to change the rules for Sunday shop trading hours.

My own view, It, It will happen like it or not.

Surely a large percentage of folk now shop on line, available 24 hours.

Sunday is actually the busiest shopping day here...

[tonyav]

minty, do the local councils determine the opening hours ?.

[murraymints]

don't think so..normal trading hours everywhere in Scotland...although some don't open till 10am

[tonyav]

Thanks minty, just wondered.
Looks like George is going to leave it up to local councils.

No they do not, tony. They have no say in the matter. Under the Sunday Trading Act of 1994 larger shops (>3,000 sq. ft) are able to open for six hours between 10am and 6pm only. It is up to the individual traders to decide which six hours they want to open.

Thanks, NJ.

Am I the only person who thought this post was going to be about George at Asda and their opening hours? Yep,...thought so ;)

[murraymints]

[Bathsheba]

not here, Minty....6 hours only everywhere,..and there's no pattern to it..some do 10-4, some 11-5,....tis a pain...:(

[tonyav]

So do many Tesco down here here, minty. Except Sunday, our local one is 11am to 5pm.
