Strange to think there was once such a concept as Shopping Days Before Christmas. Now shops are open seven days a week, and Tescos are open 24 hours a day that doesn't mean anything any more. However, like cars and new roads, shopping expands to fill the amount of time available to it, and you'll still find a queue at Tescos at 3am in the morning the week before Christmas. That's probably because the shops all shut on Christmas day, and that tends to induce panic buying in Brits for some reason - like they think rationing is about to be reimposed or something...
