Problem
If you are an overseas visitor or a British one and forgot, Aug 27 Monday is a bank holiday in the UK. What if you want to eat breakfast, buy a sandwich or do a shop?
Answers
You can google the trade name of the supermarket, (such as Aldi, Morrisons, Tesco, Tesco 24 hours, Tesco Express, Waitrose. Check your nearest branch. Go to opening hours (if not already displayed with open or closed today and today's closing time and tomorrow's opening time.
I checked on a branch of Morrisons and found that it was open on bank Holiday 8-6 but the cafe closes earlier and the garden centre might open later or close earlier. Once before I thought I'd do my shopping and then stop for a coffee and cake or sandwich or even a hot meal at the end, but the cafe was already closed.
