Last week was OK because it was warm and lots of people were outside in the garden or doing sports. This weekend it's terrible weather so I think it's going to be more of a challenge to keep the kids occupied tomorrow.

Only Serbia was a NATO action - taken after many warnings were ignored. The rest were either US agressiion or interventions that went wrong.

All big towns are close to full employment and there are plenty of other options for workers in other industries. The ironic thing is that conditions in retail are better than in many other industries.

The effect of this law is that hundreds of thousands of people who had stable work patterns now will have to change them as hours are extended on the other 6 days. A tiny proportion of retail employees belong to 5e trade unions who initiated this change

Dirk are you able to buy a soda or pay a parking ticket without mentioning migrants ? - cant you keep your bigoted comments to one thread.

Doug you are in a perfect storm - most supermarkets go live with their promo offers on Thursday- knowing this is a weekend when sunday is open there will be many good food offers. Might also be the day when 500 plus is paid - it is on 12th in my town.

In tricity most people are probably paid last friday of the month but a good portion of hourly paud workers on the 10th

I think their reasoning is that the poison was made in Russia at a secure govt facility. I don't know if that's true but it's a good starting point for her reasoning.

Well we could do - but so long as we also agree that this thread is about the effect of Sunday trading laws on customers, workers, retailers, churchgoers and it is not about migrants, muslims, cucks, ducks, the EU or Hillary.

This will not give small business a leg up - in Hungary it had the precise opposite effect as customers switched to doing a huge shop on Saturday - only foreign owned hypers had the number of tills, staff and parking space to cope.

Not everyone has a family - why cant people who are single do what they want on Sunday ?

Also stop spamming every thread. What have migrants and thd EU got to dio with this ?

They don't get junk wages - in fact supermarket cashier's wages are quite high even when compared with junior doctors, teachers, local officials et cetera - Something which is attracting a lot of comments in the press recently. In big towns they get about 3000 sometimes up to 4000.

They are also not forced to work every Sunday, people who have serious religious reservations are normally given exemptions - in fact since Sunday is a higher sales day and commissions are higher they often volunteer for those shifts.

This is not about workers rights, it's about the church. Personally I can survive without Sunday trading, but to me it's a matter of freedom - people should be able to open the shop whenever they feel like it and go shopping whenever they feel like it.

There is genuine support for this - about 45 percent, and it was in PiS election manifesto, so fair enough. Yesterday was sunny so I did see lots of people walking, cycling and jogging.

Problem is that the 45 percent includes many pensioners and unemployed who don't pay tax and have the rest of the week to go shopping anyway.
