In view of the document for public consultation to allow shops to determine their opening hours, may I suggest that this should involve all outlets across the board. Unfortunately, in these times, when most couples work five days a week, sometimes even on a Saturday morning, and are in the process of setting up home, they find that it is impossible to visit outlets selling furniture, bathroom, white goods etc because they all shut by 12.30pm. I am confident that it would be rewarding for these outlets if they were to shut on, say, a Monday morning or any other day of their choice and open on a Saturday afternoon.

Just a thought, really, however, I am certain that I reflect the opinion of many.
