@wild1145@mastodonapp.uk They can nowadays go and rescue the shipwrecked whisky even though it is a Sunday? No! (-: Northern Ireland's legislation on the subject still dates, in part, from 1695. Legally, the retail hours argument is a bit of a red herring when it comes to Sunday Trading/Closing Acts; as working on a Sunday is covered *anyway* by the Employment Rights Act 1996 (EW&S) and weekly rest periods by the Working Time Regulations 1998 (EW&S). Allowing the establishments to open longer does not by itself diminish employee rights in this regard. Regulations on trading are not the same as regulations on working. https://legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1998/1833/regulation/11 @PrinceMumbles@mastodonapp.uk #SundayTrading #Scotland #ScottishLaw #UKLaw #WhiskyGalore
