Other than the UK, does Sainsburys have shops elsewhere in the world?

Good grief joey, there is one in Egypt. It's on Giza Pyramids Road. Mmm, nice name! Anyway Sainsbury's say they hope to have outlets all over Egypt soon. http://www.worldsurface.com/browse/static.asp?staticpageid=2957 UK food retailer Sainsburys opened a store in Egypt in January 2000. The supermarket on Giza's Pyramids Road is the first to be opened by a global retailer in Egypt. Sainsburys is said to be 'delighted' with the public's response. The Pyramids Road store is processing over twice as many customers as an equivalent store in UK. It is being visited by around 7,500 customers each day, whereas the average number of customers in a UK store is only 3,000. And even though the store is offering discounts as big as 15%, it is recording a higher revenue than comparable UK stores. It has however become a victim of its own success and is too crowded. Sainsburys are trying to relieve the pressure on the store by converting 36 smaller existing supermarkets in different areas in Cairo into satellites of Sainsburys' main store. A 'freeway' store, stocking a full range of food but no family products, was opened in Heliopolis in April 2000. Meanwhile, the ABC supermarket in the wealthy Cairo island of Zamalek has been converted into a second Sainsburys supermarket, containing a large family section with Early Learning Centre toys, children's products and Sainsburys' Homebase products.

I have often read that in the Middle Ages in Britain (and elsewhere), New Year was celebrated on March 25th. Does this mean that the number of the year actually changed on that date, and if not, was there another name given to the date on which the year number actually changed? Does any other country besides the USA have states? It is the sole work of art in its quite remote location, although a museum elsewhere does have a replica on display. Created at the behest of someone who was planning a trip to the site, the work was intended to honor certain of his colleagues. Additional replicas were subsequently sold for several hundred dollars. What is it, where is it, and whose idea was it? What does the male mouse deer have that no other deer has?
