Buying alcohol on a Sunday night

So, knowing that the pubs and bars all shut early on a Sunday (flairs kicks out at 1am, don't think theres anywhere open later), last night we thought we'd get some drink and then go back to someones house.

 

Unfortunately, being a Sunday, there seems to be nowhere open - all the supermarkets are shut, Spar on Division Street was open, but the off license section was closed.

 

Anyone know anywhere selling alcohol past 1am-ish?

The 24/7 Tescos (like other big supermarkets) aren't actually open 24 hrs on Sundays - it's the Sunday trading restrictions by amount of floorspace law thingy. So any shop selling booze on a Sun night, other than an offy, is likely to be a small shop (Spar/Jacksons etc).

 

Are we sure that the out-of-town 24 hr Spars sell alcohol after the pubs shut on Sun nights (eg Ecclesall Rd)? Never tried myself but it'd be handy to know.

a bit off topic I know..

 

but does anyone else think that in this world of 24 hour everything the sunday trading laws really should be abolished now.

 

I work shifts and I find it really annoying that everything shuts at 4.00 or 5.00 on sunday!!
