REVEALED: What you think about shops opening on Boxing Day

Support was strong on Facebook too.

Francesca Jones said: “Open the shops and make all the management and owners who make the stupid decision to open in the first place work the shift!!!!”
Lin Whiteheart agreed and added: “No! Give retail staff at least another day of rest after the Christmas rush!”
Sue Greasley was one of the few in favour of the shops opening and posted: “Yes. Boxing Day sales!”
