On November 17th, our Tesco superstore will open its door for shoppers at midday. The latish opening hour is designed not to disturb those who wish to go to church. The store will close at 8pm, and only those members of staff who wish to work on Sundays can do so.
After the Sunday ferry came in 15 years ago, eventually few people noticed it. I believe it is quite a busy service, although it is 7 years ago since I took the ferry on a Sunday.
Will it make a difference to Stornoway on Sundays? I'd imagine so, with people coming in to shop who might otherwise have had to do it on Fridays and Saturdays, days of the week that I know to be very busy. On the other hand, I've always appreciated the quiet of a Sunday, and a little bit of that will be lost.
