My favourite day of the year for a pint is easter sunday when newcastle is SOOOOO peaceful. If people can get there shopping in on the 363 days the shops are open then there is something wrong somewhere.... plus you can always give the low paying tax companies your hard earned cash and shop online to save pennys!
More shops to close, but pubs to stay open?
The shops that are closing sell essentials. I'd argue for Christmas Day and Easter Sunday, you already know well in advance that they're going to be closed. You've got less than a weeks notice with this, and many families live day-by-day in terms of budgeting and putting food on the table.
