This was part of the Sunday Trading Act 1994. The Act only applies to businesses in England and Wales. As a result, large shops - retail businesses with a floor area of more than 280 square metres, including Garden Centres - can only open on a Sunday for a continuous period of six hours between 10.00 and 18.00.

In addition, all 'large shops' who fall into the above criteria can not open at all on Easter Sunday or Christmas Day. This extra clause was written into the Act to prevent it from being voted out by christian MP's who held the balance of the vote.

None of this applies in Scotland, which is why most stores were open today.

I gather that there a several quilt bargains available tomorrow.....!

Scotland don't have the same laws about Easter Sunday as we do. I remember that from when we were up there at Easter a few years ago.
I have no problem with shops not being able to open but I think places that open for leisure pursuits should be allowed to choose whether to open or not (i.e. garden centres)

Most shops here are open.
I've been to Tesco,Morrisons, Asda and Comet .

its not a major deal tho is it in the great scheme of things,

lol

i just damped it down,

im more annoyed with little doggy, and i did say yesterday to hubby we should get one, he said oh its fine i sponged it off,
bed he fibbed,!!!!!!!!!!!

Easter Sunday is probably the most important day in the Christian calendar and therefore there are special opening rules as for Christmas Day, any shop over a certain number of square feet is not able to open on Easter Sunday. You will find small corner shops may be open but not a large shop where you might find a duvet.

i like your discription of your memory
elizabeth, lmao

mines often faulty too, sometimes its a benefit,

I think it is only smaller shops tha are allowed to open - from memory (often faulty) it is 250 sq. metres. Near us it is only the Co-ops that are only just bigger than corner shops that are stores that are open.

Our local Tesco is shut today (although they are open on a normal Sunday) - open tomorrow.

Kath. x
