Yeah but you're the gaffer are'nt you?You probs get a nice hefty salary:laugh:

Many moons ago when i worked in retail it was double time on a Sunday and only a 6 hour shift so there was incentive to work it.

Where we live in France, everything is closed on a Sunday and the church bells ring out all day long, so even if your not religious, you're constantly reminded you should be.

I never go shopping on a Sunday in the UK, not that I'm religious but because I've always been in the habit of planning a family day. Its just an 'us' sort of day I suppose and anyway, by 4pm I'm starting to prepare a family roast and a jam roly poly with custard. :angel:

When I lived in France for 3 months (with my then-fiancée, in her University halls on her year abroad) the town was totally shut down all weekend to the extent that if you didn't have food in, you were basically screwed. No church bells though... instead... every two weeks, they would test the air raid sirens! I liked to pretend it was the apocalypse :laugh:.

I don't really have any preference, should be up to the stores themselves I suppose but then that's opening employees up to all sorts of unmanageable hours. As a consumer I don't particularly care about shops closing early/totally on Sunday as I've enough experience of preparing for that eventuality :laugh:

I pretend that sometimes when I'm in bed on the boat and the winds howling. Gives me some sort of sick comfort :hehe:

Yeah it was a non-touristy area. No one spoke English and I lived in fear of getting "lost" like a toddler, as whilst my wife is a fluent French speaker, my French is... err... basic, at best :joker:

One time me and my husband got the ferry to Roscoff and drove all the way through France into Spain. We went out for dinner in some town in France and neither of us spoke much french so i had this translator thing I'd bought in Lidl and started entering words from the menu, first one was "Slide" second one was "backpacker" .............:worry:

Cherie 09-03-2016 05:22 PM

So the SNP voted against, not to protect workers but to protect the pay rates in Scotland :umm2:

Kizzy 09-03-2016 05:28 PM

I wish Scotland had managed to get enough support for an out vote, sick of Scotland getting special treatment, the latest is that you lot should get your pension earlier than the rest of the UK as you don't live as long, it's not our fault ye live on deep fried mars bars :idc:
