Tough talk from someone who lives in Scotland!

Smurfy, you've obviously never heard this story:

As God was making all the countries of the earth he started creating Scotland by giving it wonderful scenery such as the Cairngorm mountains and wonderful deep lochs such as Ness and beautiful remote Islands with gorgeous sandy beaches (granted the rain was a bit of a let down). Gabriel said to God "Don't you think you are going to spoil the Scots with all this beautiful country?"

"Ah!" says God, "Wait till you see who I give them as neighbours!"

Shops are open for longer in London on a Sunday.

That's not true unless they are smaller shops. For example, because Sainsbury and Tesco now have several 'local' stores, these can stay open for longer because they are just about small enough to qualify as convenience stores. Standard supermarkets and high street stores must stick to six hours on a Sunday. However I did notice the last time I went that most of the shops opened until 6pm on Sundays - but that meant they didn't open until 12.

Tesco and Asda are open 24 hours here from early monday morning until 4pm on sunday. I am going to Asda tonight at 9pm when it is nice and quiet.

I would like M&S and Waitrose to open later.

Our M & S closes at 7, but the little baby 'Simply Food' ones are open late.

We have just a boring town centre with most of the shops shut up in a shopping centre. Everything decent shuts a 5pm and then about 9pm all the chavvy clubs open.

smurfboy - are you in Birmingham?

Yes

M&S is too expensive. I get a few things from there but no good for a big shop.

I decided against going to Asda at 9pm and instead went to Tesco at 10pm. I am amazed how many people were in there with small children so late. I'm now eating my Ritter sport with hazelnut which was 75p compared to the 99p I pay at the co op.

I agree in general but mine always seems to have a lot of good offers if you go near closing time. And there's no denying the quality of their food.

M and S for treats, Tesco for big shop.

Do Asda sell Ritter Sport then? Any other flavours?

I think Asda do sell Ritter Sport, I am sure I have seen it in there.
