National Trust issue plea to public over bank holiday
Bank holidays give lots of us some extra time to spend with friends and family and whether it’s a chilled weekend or an active one, having the household essentials in is ideal.
While the supermarkets may have altered their opening times for the bank holiday, there is plenty of time to get there for the things you need.
Your local stores may have different bank holiday opening times so make sure to use the store locators before you set off.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
