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.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
