After moving back to the states I find it much more civilized not having every store open day and night. <BR/>Funny thing is, it became nice knowing we didn't have to shop on Sunday or in the evening and could spend that time with our familyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16860768.post-1130853337865433852005-11-01T14:55:00.000+01:002005-11-01T14:55:00.000+01:00yeah we get caught out too. There's no sunday shop...yeah we get caught out too. There's no sunday shopping here - though they recently relaxed the laws a little and the small grocery only stores can open now on Sunday afternoon.<BR/><BR/>There are two periods where Sunday shopping is allowed. Advent Sundays and also during the summer holidays. (The latter I think because many people go to the countryside for the weekend and shop when they come home late on Sunday night)<BR/><BR/>This weekend the shops are shut (all of them on Saturday) That's because All Saints is celebrated then. It means shopkeepers get the day off and 24/7 teams get paid double time for their labour that day, but for most of us with Saturdays free - it really doesn't give rest to anyone. <BR/><BR/>Hope the neighbour could help out.
