While you're telling him this - confirm that the saxophone on 'Baker Street' was not played by Bob Holness from 'Blockbusters' - that's a wind-up as well!
There were some strange quirks in Sunday trading legislation before the Sunday Trading Act in 1994(?). It always used to be said that it was legal to buy a pornographic magazine on a Sunday but not a bible but I never found out whether that was an urban myth or not.
My guess is that it might have been true at some point in the past but certainly not in the past 40 years...but that's just my guess.
