But not shut in Scotland

Sunday Trading is due to be discussed again in the next few weeks or so in Parliament as to whether trading hours should be relaxed further or not so that the high street can compete with online.

I have mixed feelings. On one hand it is very frustrating not being able to shop when you want/have time as we are not all free at the same time. It is also frustrating in circumstances like today where 1p items suddenly appear but there is no time to chase up (or remembering at the last minute that you need a present etc). On the other, I don't fully see how adding more hours will give the claimed economic boost as we all have an amount we are likely to spend on shopping and opening longer may just spread that same spend over more time - same spend, increased costs for stores and different shift patterns for staff. The staff issue, though seeing it would require changes, may be no different for retail than many other sectors where weekend working is required (including hotels, restaurants and other leisure services, plus emergency services etc).

I don't completely see the religious argument as we can go to church (or other religions' places of worship, given the multi cultural and multi belief nature of society today) when the services are on and when the shops are open for others. Some people like to shop on their day(s) of rest, others are off on different days and it should be irrelevant whether shops are open or closed as to whether you spend time with your family :A.

Scottish shops can stay open, elsewhere in the UK they have more restrictions. Is there evidence that Scottish society is damaged by this? Does it really make a difference (or sense) that T Express, S Local etc can stay open but the bigger stores can't? The protecting small businesses argument is also not fully thought through, as most people will choose or not to use local shops or chains regardless of their Sunday trading times (and near us, the little shops tend to have similar opening times on Sunday to the larger stores in many cases).

That said, Sunday does still have a special place in many people's and family's lives. It will be interesting to see what develops.

Just my thoughts, shopping related so not too off topic

Yesterday mine took well in excess of five hours - the message on their system says wait 24 hours but it is generally back before then.

I went into the Durham store and the aisle was closed off. They said they were cleaning it. There was a strange looking guy in shorts with these mop things on his feet dancing around. Boy did he have hairy legs:eek:
