sunday trading

Sunday trading is, if you work weekends, one of the most irritating things known to man.

For me, in this ever-expanding secularism that we appear to be endorsing rather than just accepting, we should get rid of Sunday trading all-together. Why? Well, it's simple. You are, as a Christian (or Jew, or Muslim who have different Sabbath days) allowed to have the Sabbath off on religious grounds.

So if I could question a cultural issue, why then must we continue to not live our lives as normal just because it's Sunday? I don't like sitting on my backside watching daytime TV but my hand is forced by the fact I can't do anything until 10:30; and there is no reason for this.

The most irritating factor, admittedly, is the days in which you work through the entire trading day; leaving one unable to buy food and thus starving for an evening.

Is starving students really what the Sabbath was for?
