Boxing Day in Britain is a public holiday for virtually everyone even the supermarkets closed today though that seems to vary from year to year. If one decides to open then they all do but this year only the German supermarket in Ashford was open.
Some of the other shops were open though such as DIY and furniture shops.
Tomorrow though the sales start in earnest.

The Cayman's used to be a British Crown Colony so they celebrate all the English holidays. In fact, their Governor is still appointed by the Queen.

The Island doesn't indulge in many markdowns and bargains. Catering to tourists keeps the prices high.
