Mpprh Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 HiI was pleased to hear that a former (flooded) furniture shop in Sommieres would reopen as a convenience store.Seven to Eleven I thought. Useful for the odd forgotten items.Well it is an 8 huit ............. not quite so convenient, but may be useful.So, I checked the opening hours :I'm not sure this is in keeping with the business model ?Peterhttp://tlp.netfirms.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 You gotta laugh huh.. I've seen this before - along with the signs stating open 7/7 days of the week, come to find Sunday must not be a day of the week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Its probably the maximum they are allowed by law. French Sunday trading laws are , fortunately, strictly enforced unlike the old UK system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpprh Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 What I don't understand is how 8 huit closes at 7.30pm ?Peterhttp://tlp.netfirms.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piprob Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I love it. This is just what makes France so great - flagrant disregard. Advertise the rules; then flaunt your intention to ignore them! More please.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 My neighbour, who grows shallots which are sold to Tesco, couldn't beleive his ears when he heard that their shops are open all night. He thought there would be a revolution in France if such an arrangement were to be introduced here.Vive la Difference!Liz (29) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
