Just as long as it doesn't allow for further exploitation of employees. If people are willing to work, and people are willing to shop, then let it be.

We do live in a very different world from even as little as 20 years ago.

Sunday trading in Scotland has been the case for years and years - as I am sure is the case south of the border.

How much money do retail parks pull in over the weekends, and on Sundays.....a fair amount I'd guess.... some stats on Sunday sales figures vs a week day would be interesting.

If people wish to retain their own religious (or otherwise) belief that Sunday is a day of rest - that's their choice, but I'd say they were certainly in the minority.

Additonally: like I say: many families go out together for Sunday lunches - if people didn't work in such trades - that would simply not be an option: we'd be back in the days of old.
