I come from a background where Sundays were an enforced "family" day. Where as a child I wasn't allowed to go out and see friends. I resented that enforcement then, and I still look back at it with contempt. It did nothing to bring the family together. It artificially forced an environment that should be allowed to occur naturally or not at all. Family days should occur by choice, not because its a Sunday.

I do get what you're saying but my fear is that if shops decide they're opening 24 hours a day 7 days a week, then will that then creep into other companies that normally close at weekends and then there will be no distinction between weekend and weekday and people will no longer have weekends off to spend with their families cos everyones times off will clash etc etc I love my weekends off
