Ah. Clearly both my OH and I are extraordinarily thick then, as neither of us realised from the sign outside the 8.30 Mondays to 10pm Saturday thing (and if this is because they can only trade six hours on Sunday, why aren't they open till midnight on Saturday??)

"(and if this is because they can only trade six hours on Sunday, why aren't they open till midnight on Saturday??)"

That's presumably a commercial decision by Sainsburys, although all other supermarkets seems to stick to that time too (possibly due to not wishing to break ranks with other supermarkets and/or estimated demand), so this important (??) question might be best directed to Sainsburys. While you at it, perhaps you could ask why they don't open earlier than 8.30am on Mondays.

"Life's too short"

Which is why it's probably important to be able to read and understand signs. >:D<
