Spoken from experience. Nice fella that trooper.

Are you saying there are some counties that you aren't allowed to buy in another country and bring it home?

I had no idea.

I hope I don't stir up a hornets nest, but I remember as a kid that ALL the stores were closed on Sunday. You know what else? It seemed like people had more time to spend with their families. If you wanted to drink, then you picked up something on Saturday, but Sundays were kinda reserved for families. Not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion, I hate working on Sundays and don't think anyone else should have to either...

I'm not that old and I remember stores being closed on Sunday. If I remember right, the only things that were open on Sundays were restraunts and establishments owned and operated by Jewish people(becuse these places were usually closed on Saturdays).
