Seriously now that this country has moved out of the dark ages do we still have to pretend to observe the "no trading on a sunday" rule? bloody religious menace.
Have you washed up in the western isles?
The only other place where places genuinely close down on a sunday is the city of london
I know, It's dreadful some people having a day of after working six days on the trot.
How many Sundays do you work in a year MrNutt?
Completely agree. I have lost count of the times I have trotted off to Tesco or Th'Asda, only to be stymied by it happening to be Sunday. I have to work any day or night, it's not that much of a hardship. Shop workers should be allowed the opportunity to earn more than six hours of Sunday rate.

You don't work in retail, do you?
Has this country moved out of the Dark Ages?
Is it really closed?
Well it says so in the title, might be closed as its after 4pm on a Sunday
It may be the four bottles of Leffe Blonde that No1 son bought me for fathers day, or the nice bottle of red I am working on over dinner but the [closed] in the title just had me mightily confuddled..
And I just needed to edit the last post three times before it made any sense

Its not the 'no sunday trading' that bothers me, thats easy to understand if groups of shops in an area all do it. What annoys me is shops seem to hate to be open at all, 5.30 closing on a weekday! do you actually want any custom????? yes bike shops im looking at you!
Personally, I hark back to the days when people used to be forced to spend Sundays together as a family unit, people went out and did things, went to RSPB reserves, kids fixed things with their dads, mums cooked dinner and grandma came round for dinner before we watched a cheesy war movie on one of the three channels.
Was a lot better for kids than than being dragged screaming around Tesco!

Which was really great for all the folk that just had Mon-Fri jobs but a pain in the arse for folk that actually had to work 7 day rotas (nurses, police, firemen, power workers, printers etc etc etc) or would you rather sit in the dark, be thrown out of hospital, put out your own house fire etc on a Sunday?
Tancat Lunes.
I don't understand. Everything is open, ok not quite as long, but I've been to the shops, filled up with fuel, listened to the radio and watched the telly. On top of all this, the Internet seems to work as well.
Seems fairly open to me...?
