Would you like to see Sunday trading stopped?

For some its the only day they are able to work, I wouldn't like to see that taken away from families. Personally I rarely shop on Sundays, not for any religious reasons just prefer to shop in the week when its a bit quieter.

vickyjakesmum I do agree with you that it was nice to have a day of rest
but with the pressure of life now I cannot see it ever happening

vickyjakesmum i dont see anything wrong with Sunday trading at all

I would.
Let's go back to Sunday being a day of rest, not for religious purposes, but for family.

We can live without a shop being open for one day a week, I really wish some old fashioned values would get back into our society.

Why stop there?
What about other bringing back other old fashioned 'values' like using children as chimney sweeps, witch dunking and having someone with a red flag walk in front of cars or even ban cars and make people use a 'pony and trap'?

Lots of different opinions about Sunday trading, even the sarcastic comment haridus 🤣😂 children wouldn't fit up chimneys now would they with all the childhood obesity. 😋

vickyjakesmum I don’t usually shop on Sunday but sometimes an emergency might crop up and an open shop could be handy, like the time we had to go to the out of hours doctor so Sainsbury pharmacy was the only one open. We couldn’t wait for Monday opening.🤗

Waiting till 7pm when the off licence opened to buy cigs etc them were the days

We had a rip off corner shop as well that was open till 5

vickyjakesmum I think it would be better, we managed before. Surely people can cope with six days shops open?
Perhaps the people that work on Sundays may not agree? Do they get paid extra?

I do sometimes shop on a Sunday but can easily do it another time @vickyjakesmum and think it'll be great for shops to close on Sunday and give all supermarket workers a day of to spend with family.

vickyjakesmum There has always been Sunday trading during my lifetime. Maybe not supermarkets but there was always a corner shop where you paid twice as much for things.
The shops open on a Sunday because there are people wanting to spend money. I don't see any reason to stop that

That is a very good question and i fully understand where you're coming from vickyjakesmum

Unfortunately, life has changed on a Sunday thanks to the way society is now. It's easier for some families to go shopping on a Sunday if they work all week or some people like to work on a Sunday, as they can get child care easier.

Retailers will always try to grasp the last penny in the dog eat dog retail world, so I can't see them changing course on Sunday opening.
Things will never be the way they were and should be glad it's only a permitted 6 hours opening on Sunday really.

I do sit on the fence on this one, as I can see both sides equally.

If you've ever been in the position to be grateful for a Sunday shift for that little extra cash per hour you'd want Sunday trading to continue.

I hope Sunday trading continues as it's just about the only day I can do my grocery shop.
Thanks

When I used to work every weekend loved being able to pop into Asda or any other shop and get something warm to eat. But now I’m not working every weekend I actually use most sundays as a day of I AINT DOING NUFIN so don’t ask day. But there’s plenty of people that need to work or shop things have changed 😁

vickyjakesmum

I'd lose a days work if that happened.
Makes sense to be open when most people are off work.
It's a no from me.
