Mission Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I'm guessing they're probably quite happy to have the day off tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La_Dolce_Vita Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Oh right, I didn't realise it was illegal. I wonder what types of business are exempted. Good thing though because if they could be open they probably would be, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcCann Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Tobacconists, brothels and McDonalds are all exempted and from next Christmas Woolworths as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemonday Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Presumably God who marks the fall of the meanest sparrow will be working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bambster Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I think there needs to be a clause (no pun intended) in the law that states that you can open on Christmas Day morning from the hours between 05:30 and 12:00 but only if you sell batteries.

pongo Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 It's weird that there are laws about when shops can be open. I'm glad they don't still tell us what time we have to go to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambster Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I suppose there is a good point, that rash booze buy that we all do, a trolley full of it. I think it is part of Christmas to stand back and admire the slabs of beer and the medley bunch of bottles. If you even thought a beer merchant might be open Christmas Day you probably wouldn't go mad and rationalize that extra bottle of vodka or the extra 24 beers under the heading of "Just in case" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
