As a town centre resident, I am in favour of keeping Sunday as a day of rest and relaxation, not chasing around the shops. Give us a break !
Yes! B&Q especially.Being able to visit Asda and B&Q is the antidote to boredom?
Well quite, and one of the ways we access it is by going out. Ideally by public transport, which is one area that has stayed a resolute supporter of the 'Keep Sunday Special' campaignPicking up on your last point, I was recently talking about my love and interest in music with someone who is equally passionate about books and films. She said at one point “art is brilliant, there’s so much out there, how can you ever be bored?” which I tend to agree with. Access to books, film and music has never been so easy; in this day and age, how would you get bored?
Germany … were washing your car on a Sunday can get you a fine …..I’m not advocating the closure of everything but I do like the idea of “major” shops being closed on Sunday. It works very successfully here and no one I know complains, quite the opposite in fact.
The whole idea of every thing being closed on a Sunday is a hangover from when the great unwashed had to go to church to be brainwashed. The only other thing you could do was archery ….Close everything on Sunday
Nothing to do with religion. I just think society would be better off with a family day once a week
I always think of lockdown with this sort of thing. I was horrified by the idea at first. After a while, those enforced vast expanses of time were wonderful. One day a week, where you’ve got a bit of time to get bored would be great. Take the dog for a long walk, play a board game with the kids. If you’re really bored, have a conversation with the mrs
In reality of course, commerce grows, not shrinks. Economies must grow and all that
What's your point ?The only other thing you could do was archery ….
I bow down to your knowledge.The only other thing you could do was archery ….
Defiantly.Were lost
Indeed its refreshing when you go over there. They have Sunday for leisure that's for sure. I'm biased though as I loath shoppingFrance Is the answer
just relax.
Can we have the old ski Sunday back please, rather than the shouty twats that present it now. Awful.A host of great tv like Catweazle, Worzel Gummidge, Randall & Hopkirk, The Persuaders, Ski Sunday, The World About Us, That's Life, Holiday.
Wasn’t World of Sport on a Saturday? It was before my time. I do remember when I was very young though that we briefly had WCW on ITV, they used to show British Bulldog matches I thinkCan we have the old ski Sunday back please, rather than the shouty twats that present it now. Awful.

Port-E-Slade "a bit continental" ??Really? I last went in June . . . . Rode 150 miles in a day and nothing was open except a few bar/cafe's all the petrol stations were auto CC . . . .
Are you sure you weren't in Port-E-'Slade' that's a bit continental these days?
FWLIW I'm anti religion, honestly believe it's the root of all evil . . . .but everyone deserves a rest, so Shut up on a Sunday . . . . And those who work weekends don't on Monday/Tue . . . Like barbers, restaurants bars etc Do here already anyway . . .
