No shops open

spend some quality time with the family?

I remeber when this happened every Sunday

I don't mind shop workers having some time off to spend with their families.

There's still well over 350 days a year left to shop.

Excellent news, wish this was the case every Sunday.  As a nation we seem to be hostage to the supermarkets

You could always go outside into the fresh air and enjoy a stroll in the countryside. Or Play sport Or go and visit friends and family ETC.  Theres more to life than retail therapy.

Might even get a lie in!

I agree, one time when shops shut at 5.30 there could be a case for Sunday trading, but now shopping centres are open till  9 or 10pm, supermarkets the same, some 24 hours, is there a need for Sunday opening? I have been very lucky in never (well once or twice voluntarily) having to work Sundays and wish that more people could also have that. I don't use shops on Sundays if i can help it. But you could argue I use club sites over a weekend so am I being a hypocrite?  

I like Sunday opening. It's just another day - nothing special about Sunday over any other day of the week 

well if your kids are grown up or you're retired then yes, but when your, not yours, someones chlidren at are school and they have the weekend off and you as their parent have to work weekends when do you see them? take them out? play with them? Yes you get the time off somewhere else but its when they are at school.

The supermarkets here sort the shifts so weekends are staffed by students or people without children. I'd imagine most do.

No different to a Saturday either. It's just an old fashioned hangover to a world that has long gone  

what are we going to do on Sunday  all the shops are closed   

( No religious comments please !  this post is not to offend ) 

Come to Scotland they don't close here
