isn’t the only one flying the flag for British fashion during the Olympics.

We didn’t have the Chancellor, George Osbourne, down as a shopaholics’ champion, but he has decided to lift the restrictions on Sunday trading hours during the London 2012 Olympic Games.

In a move that could lead to an injection of £200 million for the British high street, from July 22, the current six-hour Sunday trading rule will be lifted for the eight week duration of the Olympics.

“Some of the biggest events will be on a Sunday,” he said, “when millions of visitors come to Britain to see them, we don't want to hang up a closed for business sign”.
