I remember when a Presto was opened in Blyth, Northumberland when I was a mere boy (that was along time ago) :-X

It was allowed to open on Saturday :o :o

The locals were confused for months ;D ;D ;D

I thought Tesco's was a jewish own'd company.
Title: Re: bit confused
Post by: albitz on 18 June 2012, 17:26:08
Nope,its a PLC and therefore its ownership (to some extent at least) changes hour by hour,day by day.Even if it was Jewish owned,its shops would still be subject to Sunday trading laws.

I would vote for that.A day of rest from bloody shops. :y
Most of the country now seems to lack the imagination to do anything more than spend the weekend wandering around DIY shops and garden centres,very sad indeed. ::)

On Sundays I don't go near a shop, it's not compulsory.

I go to a shop to buy a paper evry morning.Apart from that I rarely go near them from one month to the next. I hate shops. ;D
