Why do UK supermarkets have clock towers?

UK supermarkets have clock towers so everyone knows what time it is, just like a big alarm clock that stands outside for all to see.

Imagine you're playing in the park and suddenly, a giant bell rings, telling you it's time to go home. That’s kind of what the clock tower does, but for grown-ups. It helps people know when to start shopping, when to stop, or even when to leave work.

These towers are like friendly reminders standing outside the supermarket, they help shoppers and workers keep track of time without needing a phone or watch. Just like how you might check your toy clock before bedtime to know it's time to sleep!
