+1 especially when the football is on.
Yep.
Sunday trading laws seem pretty pointless to me and would appear to be an easy way to stimulate a bit of extra economic growth, to be topical!
In An Ideal World, yes.
But if you speak to the staff in retail, they need some degree of respite.

I’d love the shops to be closed every Sunday. The sad bastards that buy their tat at Ikea wouldn’t then be blocking the roads near me on Sundays .. it would only be Monday to Saturday

Can't do that when the majority work Monday to Friday. One day a week for all of those people to do their shopping.
Can't say the current Sunday opening hours offend me particularly.

Nobody works 24/7 so the Sunday trading argument doesn't work anymore.
I respect anyone's right to Sunday off, but plenty of others are prepared to work on a Sunday

The self employed do mate. Some of them do 25/7 the way they harp on about it.

So you don't work the rest of the time then

I'm not sure we should regard Sunday as "special" just because we're a supposedly Christian country. I've never believed a word of the bullshit despite singing Requiem Masses in cathedrals and Christmas carols in churches AOTS. So the total shutdown for Christmas and Easter rankles with me. My brother always volunteered for Christmas Day shifts as a copper and I've worked with many Moslems and Jews who resented having to take time off for the Christian holidays. Time for humanity to move away from religion and try common sense. It'll never catch on though.

The other 42% are experienced Christians and go to Church more than once every couple of months.
Edited for ypou.
So you reckon 50% of the population go to church more than once every couple of months? There'd need to be a shit load more churches if circa 30 million people wanted to attend a church that frequently.
They don't go all in one go you know.
RE: Easter Sunday - SuperBob2002 - 03-07-2024
I'd sooner work during the religious holidays and spend the annual how I want, rather than being told how to. Religious nonsense. It's 2024. Not 1024.
